M a t e r i a l: Numerous isolated bones consisting of maxilla, operculum, suboperculum, frontal, supracleithrum (MHK 62441, MHK 81718, MHK 81720, MHK 81724, MHK 81732, MHK 81758, MHK 81905, MHK 81906) and one partly preserved specimen (MHK 81765).

Locality and stratigraphical range: Klášterská Lhota, near Vrchlabí. Krkonoše Piedmont Basin, Early Permian, Prosečné Formation.

R e m a r k s: Set of numerous isolated bones represent typical aeduellid fish. Some features similar to those in Aeduella blainvillei include an operculum with a sinusoidally curved ventral edge, suboperculum with a sinusoidal dorsal edge of the bone with the high dorsal process in the posterior region of the bone, and smooth scales posteriorly not denticulated. Wide frontals with moderately curved interfrontal suture, higher maxilla in its posterior region and more numerous scale rows between the supracleithrum and the beginning of the dorsal fin differ from Aeduella blainvillei , and might represent a new species of Aeduella or some of the species of Bourbonnella . Due to incompleteness of the osteological fragments of aeduellid fish from Klášterská Lhota locality, they cannot currently be assigned to one of above-mentioned species.
