Richterina (Volkina) zimmermanni ( Volk, 1939) .—This species (Fig. 9C–E) occurs in the pre−event part of the section. Its lateral outline is elongate oval, and both ends are almost equally rounded.

Range and occurrence.—This species is known from the middle and late Frasnian, W. cicatricosa Zone up to the E. (E.) splendens Zone, of Europe (Rhenish Slate Mts., Harz Mts., Thuringia, Spain, Montagne Noire, Ardennes, Holy Cross Mts.), N−Africa (Sahara, Algeria), N−America (Ohio) and South China. However, in China it occurs also in the early Famennian, F. (F.) sigmoidale Zone.
Richterina (Volkina) latecostata Rabien, 1954 .—This rare species ( Fig. 11 View Fig ) is restricted to the middle part of the Płucki section (sample P−69). Its lateral outline is elongately oval, the dorsal margin is gently curved, and the ventral margin is more curved. The anterior and posterior ends are rather narrowly and equally rounded. The surface bears six to seven longitudinal ribs separated by wide intercostal grooves. In thedorsalpartofthecarapace,ribsarealmoststraight,andin theventralpart,theyaremorestronglycurved.Afewintercalated ribs are present.
Range and occurrence.—Thisspeciesisknownfromthelatest Frasnian, E. (E.) splendens Zone, of Europe.
