FAMILY KALENTERIDAE, Marwick, 1953

Genus PLEUROPHORELLA Girty, 1904

Type species. Pleurophorella papillosa Girty, 1904 by original designation, Graham Limestone, Pennsylvanian (Cisco), Young County, Texas .

Remarks. Janeia? compressa (Goldfuss) Beushausen (1895) and Janeia laevigata (Goldfuss) Beushausen (1895) are not solemyids; both are here provisionally placed in Pleurophorella . Shell posteriorly elongated, somewhat modioliform, laterally compressed with well-defined lunule and long escutcheon; hinges and internal morphologies unknown.

Pleurophorella ? aff. transversa (de Koninck, 1842)

Remarks. Janeia? compressa (Goldfuss)

Beushausen compares with Sanguinolaria compressa Goldfuss and with Pleurophorella transversa (de Koninck) . Beushausen himself was uncertain about generic placement.
