Genus Arduafrons Frickhinger, 1991

TYPE SPECIES. — By monotypy: Arduafrons prominoris Frickhinger, 1991 . Lower Tithonian from the “Solnhofener Plattenkalke” of Bavaria, Germany. See Nursall (1999a) for a description of this genus and species. Holotype of Arduafrons prominoris by subsequent designation: BMM 33a-b.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Holotype (complete specimen). Other specimens: MB (unlabelled); NHML P8658 (both complete specimens). The incomplete specimen JM SOS 3309a-b is labelled as Arduafrons , but we interpret it as Mesturus due to the jagged suture of its scales, unique to this genus ( Nursall 1999a).
