Ferganula sp. 2

Pl. 109, Fig. 2-4

M a t e r i a l: One specimen from Židlochovice

D i a g n o s i s: Encrusting colony, autozooecia oval, growing in irregular rows. Frontal wall perforated by many small pores of identical size. Lateral walls visible, slightly elevated above the frontal wall. Apertures with a shallow, broad sinus and clearly visible condyles. Large avicularia situated close to the lateral wall, often near the aperture with a long rostrum tapering laterally. No ovicell.

R e m a r k s: The studied avicularia are very characteristic, but I have only one specimen – not enough to establish a new species. Colony resemble specimen of Schizomavella tenella ( REUSS, 1847) from Kralice nad Oslavou showing the avicularia close to the lateral walls (Pl. 102, Fig. 4). However, due to the presence of globular ovicells in this specimen, it is identified as Schizomavella tenella ( REUSS, 1847) .
