Genus Lagovilepis nov.

Type species: Palmatolepis bogartensis ( Stauffer, 1938) .

Derivation of the name: From Łagów, a town near Płucki, where the type species is well documented.

Diagnosis.—Palmatolepidids with P 1 (sp) elements of generalised shape and typically Frasnian basal bending of the dorsal process, and A−shaped M (ne) elements with primitively narrow angle between elongated processes.

Remarks.—The type species of the genus has a symmetrical element in the apparatus with processes which do not bifurcate. This seems to be a reversal to the state typical of Kielcelepis rather than an inherited character.

Species included.—Only the type species.
