Fig. 6Q–R

Material examined

USA • 1 left valve; Guadalupe Mountains , West Texas, ‘ McKittrick Canyon’ Member , Bell Canyon Formation , MKCS1 section, sample 4 (GM5); Capitanian, Middle Permian; MNHN.F. F63399 • 1 left valve; same locality as for preceding; Capitanian, Middle Permian; MNHN.F. F63400 • 2 right valves; same locality as for preceding; Capitanian, Middle Permian; MNHN.F. F63484 .

Occurrence

Sample 4 (GM5), MKCS 1 section, ‘McKittrick Canyon’ Member, Bell Canyon Formation, Guadalupe Mountains, West Texas, USA, Capitanian, Middle Permian (this work).

Remarks

This species is similar to Miltonella shupei Sohn, 1950 from the Middle Permian of Texas ( Sohn 1950). Herein, the specimens are shorter and the characteristic ridge of the genus begins at ACA and finishes at PCA (instead of PB in type species).
