Palaeozygopleura prantli
Horný, 1955
Holotype
.
NMP 34882 (Horný 1955: pl. VI, fig. 5).
Paratype
.
NMP 34883 (Horný 1955: pl. VI, fig. 6), 80 unnumbered specimens, NMP.
Type
locality.
Section in small quarry NE of the village of Holynĕ and W of the Prastav quarry (
50°1'57.627"N
,
14°21'5.471"E
).
Type
horizon.
Uppermost part of the Třebotov Limestone (Daleje-Třebotov Formation); the latest Emsian to early Eifelian, Middle Devonian.
Remarks.
Horný (1955: 128) considered
P. prantli
to be closely related and a younger form of
P. bohemica
. However,
P. prantli
comes from the same stratigraphic level as
P. bohemica
. In addition, both species have hitherto only been known from their
type
locality from where the fossil material collected by Mr. V. Plas and Mr. F. Hanuš was later used by Horný (1955). Detailed morphometric analysis of the both taxa is a subject of on-going study.
Stratigraphic and geographic distributions.
This species is only known from its
type
horizon and locality.
