| Abstract | A new genus, Tullypothyridina, type species T. venustula (HALL, 1867), is described from the late Givetian of central New York, Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky, and probably eastern Iowa. The type species of the related genus Hypothyridina BUCKMAN, 1906, H. cuboides (SOWERBY, 1840), the name of which was originally and subsequently given to the American species, is discussed. The taxonomic definition of this late Givetian species from South Devon, its stratigraphic position, and its paleogeographic significance are examined. The type species of the genus Glosshypothyridina RZHONSNITSKAYA, 1978, G. procuboides (KAYSER, 1871), is also scrutinized; this late Eifelian species from the Eifel region has been considered as closely allied, when not identical, to both the American and English species. |
