C h a r a c t e r i s t i c s: (emended according to features Fritsch (1895) considered important): Length of the fish is about 16 cm. The total body length is 4 times the maximum height of the body. The dorsal fin begins at the midpoint of the body, and its posterior half is above the anal fin. Scales are smooth. Fine incremental lines occur along the posterior and ventral borders of the fins, and diminutive stipple is seen in the central area of the lateral side of the scales. 34 scale rows are between the head and the beginning of the dorsal fin, 4 ridge scales are in front and 7 scales behind the dorsal fin.

T y p e s: Holotype M 901 described and figured by Fritsch (1895, pl. 125, figs 4–5) is deposited in the National Museum , Prague.

T y p e l o c a l i t y a n d h o r i z o n: Ruprechtice, Ruprechtice Horizon, Olivětín Member, Broumov Formation, Asselian, Intra-Sudetic Basin.

O c c u r r e n c e: Horní Kalná; Horní Kalná “Za garáží”; Klášterská Lhota; Ruprechtice.

R e m a r k s: Fritsch (1895) mentioned, besides the holotype M 901 from Ruprechtice, another more poorly preserved specimen of P. zeidleri from Horní Kalná. Several other specimens that correspond to P. zeidleri were recently found in Krkonoše Piedmont Basin in localities Horní Kalná “Za garáží” and in Klášterská Lhota ( Štamberg 2012). The species Paramblypterus zeidleri has not been revised from the description of Fritsch (1895).
