Genus Placohelia Pocta, 1887 View in CoL

TYPE SPECIES. — Placohelia rimosa Pota, 1887 (by monotypy).

REMARKS

The genus was revised by Eliášová (1991) and based on microstructural features was assigned to the Rhipidogyridae family. Thin sections obtained from the type specimen of the type species are poorly preserved and do not show any trace of microstructure. In its general structure – plocoid, free compact septa, lamellar columella – the material resembles members of the Hemiporitidae family.
