Genus Amplexocarinia Soshkina, 1928

Type species: Amplexocarinia muralis Soshkina, 1928 ; Upper Permian of Ural Mountains .

Diagnosis.—See Hill (1981).

Remarks.—The oldest species attributed to the genus Amplexocarinia is Middle Devonian ( Różkowska, 1969; Lütte and Galle 1989) but the genus is particularly common in the Carboniferous (see De Groot 1963). Studies of its ontogeny showed that the genus is probably polyphyletic Fedorowski 1986; Moore and Jeffords 1986).
