(v)*1958 Kionotrochus corneti nov. sp.: Alloiteau & Tissier, p. 279, pl. 1, figs 9a–b’.

(v)1958 Monticyathus lehmani nov. sp.: Alloiteau & Tissier, p. 284, pl. 1, figs 8a–b’.

(v)1958 Coronocyathus goffinti nov. sp.: Alloiteau & Tissier, p. 287, pl. 1, figs 5 a–e.

Description. Corallum compressed, conical, elliptical in outline; septal arrangement in 4 cycles in 12 systems in late adult stages, in irregularly developed 6 systems in younger ontogenetical stages; laterally granulate. Dimensions of skeletal elements during ontogeny see Fig. 3.

Remarks. The species Bathycyathus lehmani ( Alloiteau & Tissier, 1958) from the Danian of Belgium seems to completely correspond to the slightly more juvenile stage of Bathycyathus goffinti ( Alloiteau & Tissier, 1958) illustrated on pl. 1, fig. 5c of Alloiteau & Tissier (1958) from the same locality. Therefore, it is assumed that they are synonymous.

Type locality of species. Danian of Belgium .

Distribution. Danian of Belgium.
