Clinopistha curta (Walcott, 1884) n. comb.

Remarks. Name originally applied to two different taxa: Walcott (1884, pl. 22, fig. 6) is Clinopistha ,

i.e., C. cf. levis Meek and Worthen , but pl. 22, fig.

11 is probably Dystactella , i.e., D. cf. subnasuta

(Hall and Whitfield). By priority, the trivial name,

curta , is herein assigned to Clinopistha as it appears first on Walcott’s plate 22.
