SUPERFAMILY KALENTEROIDEA Marwick, 1953

FAMILY KALENTERIDAE, Marwick, 1953

Genus PLEUROPHORELLA Girty, 1904

Type species. Pleurophorella papillosa Girty, 1904 by original designation, Graham Limestone, Pennsylvanian (Cisco), Young County, Texas .

Remarks. Janeia? compressa (Goldfuss) Beushausen (1895) and Janeia laevigata (Goldfuss) Beushausen (1895) are not solemyids; both are here provisionally placed in Pleurophorella . Shell posteriorly elongated, somewhat modioliform, laterally compressed with well-defined lunule and long escutcheon; hinges and internal morphologies unknown.

Pleurophorella ? aff. transversa (de Koninck, 1842)

Remarks. Janeia? compressa (Goldfuss)

Beushausen compares with Sanguinolaria compressa Goldfuss and with Pleurophorella transversa (de Koninck) . Beushausen himself was uncertain about generic placement.

? 1840 Sanguinolaria compressa Goldfuss, 1840, p. 280 , pl. 159, fig. 16a-b [= Beushausen’s type of J.? compressa ; hinge and interior unknown; well-defined lunule and long escutcheon]; Devonian, Uebergangskalk, Eifel.

? 1842 Cypricardia transversa de Koninck , p. 94, pl. 1, fig. 3, pl. 3, fig. 8? [compares with but not identical to S. compressa Goldfuss ]; Lower Carboniferous, (Tournaisian), Tournai, Belgium.

1895 Janeia? compressa (Goldfuss) ; Beushausen (?Beushausen) 1895, p. 297, pl. 26, fig. 1a-c [compares with S. compressa Goldfuss ; hinge and ligament unknown; Pr0]; Devonian, Daleiden, Germany.

? 1991 Pleurophorella transversa (de Koninck) ; Morris et al. (1991, p. 87, fig. 41) [compares with J.? compressa sensu Beushausen ]; Lower Carboniferous, (Tournaisian) Tournai, Belgium.
