Ferganula sp. 1

Pl. 109, Fig. 1

M a t e r i a l: One specimen from the borehole at Přemyslovice.

D i a g n o s i s: Encrusting colony, autozooecia elongate, growing in regular rows. Frontal wall perforated by pores of identical size. Lateral walls visible, slightly elevat- ed above the frontal wall. Apertures with a narrow sinus and clearly visible condyles. A pair of very small avicularia situated in the middle of the frontal wall, close to the lateral wall. No ovicell.

R e m a r k s: The presence of a pair of small avicularia is reminiscent of Ferganula turkestanensis PHEOPHANOVA, 1966 , which has however more hexagonal shaped autozooecia and a very broad sinus. While only one specimen has been found, the establishment of a new species was not justified .
