Quasibeothuka Wang View in CoL in Wang, Cheng & Zhang, 2008

Quasibeothuka Wang View in CoL in Wang, Cheng & Zhang, 2008: 399.

TYPE SPECIES. — Quasibeothuka fusiforma Wang in Wang, Cheng & Zhang, 2008 ( Wang et al. 2008: 399, pl. 1, fig. 1-4).

AGE AND LOCATION OF TYPE MATERIAL. — Ordovician, Kurutag region, Xinjiang, western China.

TAXON CODE. — 274.

STATUS. — nomen dubium (herein).

DIAGNOSIS. — “Hollow spongy shell fusiform, ovate and elliptic. Small pores are on shell surface. There are two rod-like polar spines, one more robust, cone-shaped and other delicate, longer.” (Wang in Wang et al. 2008: 399).

REMARKS

The type material figured by Wang et al. (2008) is very poorly preserved and on none of the figured specimens is it possible to discern the characteristics that define this putative genus.

Zhuangodiscus Wu & Feng in Wu, Feng, Gui & Liu, 2010: 887.

TYPE SPECIES. — Zhuangodiscus orthacanthus Wu & Feng in Wu, Feng, Gui & Liu, 2010 ( Wu et al. 2010: 887, fig. 9.8-9.18).

AGE AND LOCATION OF TYPE MATERIAL. — Upper Changhingian (Upper Permian), Dalong Formation at Balong, Fusui County, Southern Guangxi, south China.

TAXON CODE. — 275.

STATUS. — Valid.

DIAGNOSIS. — “Test inflated, discoidal, consisting of fine, dense, concentric spongy shells, with 2 to 6 equatorial spines. Spine large, short conical or long cylindrical lateral profile, having three longitudinally arranged primary ridges alternating with three longitudinally arranged primary grooves; a primary ridge has two or three secondary longitudinal ridges and one or two secondary longitudinal grooves; its base is usually covered by spongy structure and many pores evident along the grooves when the spongy structure is absent; spinal shaft well developed.” (Wu & Feng in Wu et al. 2010: 887).
