Mostlerium Cheng, 1986

Mostlerium Cheng, 1986: 136 .

TYPE SPECIES. — Mostlerium unicum Cheng, 1986 ( Cheng 1986: 136, pl. 4, fig. 7, 8, 20, 23).

AGE AND LOCATION OF TYPE MATERIAL. — Lower Carboniferous, Oklahoma and Arkansas, USA.

TAXON CODE. — 226.

STATUS. —Junior synonym of Pararchocyrtium Deflandre,1972 (herein).

DIAGNOSIS. — “Test as with family [ Archocyrtidae ] but possessing seven spines on the shell surface; three spines located on the upper hemisphere, of which one slightly lower in position and much shorter; four other spines located on the lower hemisphere surrounding the pylome margin. Cephalis subspherical, perforate having large, circular pylome. Pylome margin having expanded skirt; narrow and imperforate.” ( Cheng 1986: 136).

REMARKS

Noble et al. (2008: 47) note the instability of the position of spines (either as feet or lateral spines) in Pararchocyrtium , and question the validity of using the number of feet as a criterion for genus level distinction in several of the archocyrtid taxa. We synonymize herein.
