Material.—Total of 57 ventral and 105 dorsal valves. Figured ventral valves: RM Br133830 (W = 1.19, L = 0.88, H = 0.66), RM Br133832, RM Br133833 (W = 0.57, L = 0.45, H = 0.32), RM Br133834, RM Br133835; dorsal valves: RM Br133828, RM Br133829 (W = 0.70, L = 0.50, WI = 0.34, LS = 0.40, BS = 0.22), RM Br133831 (W = 0.93, L = 0.78, WI = 0.48, WM1 = 0.63, LM1 = 0.37, LS = 0.56, BS = 0.26).

Diagnosis.—As for genus.

Description.—Shell transversely suboval, around 74–84% as long as wide (N = 4). Ventral valve broadly conical, around 71–75% as high as long (N = 2) with maximum height at umbo. Ventral pseudointerarea procline to almost catacline, bisected by poorly defined intertrough. Pedicle foramen at the end of very short external pedicle tube, enclosed within larval shell. Apical process slightly ridged anteriorly.

Dorsal pseudointerarea low, orthocline, occupying around 49–52% of valve width (N = 2). Dorsal median septum low, extending for around 72–80% of valve length. Dorsal median buttress and cardinal muscle scars variably developed. Larval shells of both valves well defined, transversely suboval, around 0.22 mm wide, surrounded by raised rim.

Discussion.—The specimens from Poland agree closely with the types from the Chingiz Range, as well as those described by Popov and Holmer (1994) from the South Urals. The only difference is that the dorsal median septum is somewhat lower and the upper septal rod is not as well defined as in the Asian material. The median septum of the ephippelasmatids usually shows some degree of intraspecific variation.
