摘要: The genus Aladraco nom. nov. is described and discussed, along with two species recognized from coeval strata of the lower traditional middle Cambrian, A. schloppensis (Wurm, 1925) Tannenknock Formation Franconian Forest region, Germany, A. ougnatensis sp. Jbel Wawrmast eastern Anti-Atlas, Morocco. was formerly known as Oxyprymna Kiderlen, 1933, a preoccupied generic name requiring renaming genus. bears morphological characters such size, shape external ornamentation conch which clearly indicate systematic position in class Hyolitha. A number characters, tripartition into an axial chamber lateral acuminate processes, course apertural margin, differ considerably those seen orders Hyolithida Orthothecida, appear to distinct differences functional morphology. However, similarities representatives suggest that are derived this group should be dealt hitherto unrecognized suborder family, introduced Aladracina subord. Aladracidae fam.
