Pliomerina sp.

Fig. 11M, N, P.

Material.—Three cranidia (repository numbers: NIGP−152075, 152076, 152078).

Remarks.—From co−occurring Pliomerina tashanensis sp. nov., this species is discriminated by having the abaxial end of S3 at antero−lateral glabellar corner, shorter (sag.) glabella, and non−carinated palpebral area of fixigenae. Of Pliomerina species: P. austrina Webby, 1971 and P. prima Webby, 1971 from New South Wales, Australia; P. dulanensis Chugaeva, 1958 from Kazakhstan; P. serrata Zhou and Zhou, 2006 and P. rigida Kolobova, 1972 from Inner Mongolia exhibits comparable cranidial architecture. The cranidia however differ in having a more rounded anterior margin, less deeply impressed glabellar furrows, larger palpebral lobe that is located more posteriorly, and longer (tr.) posterior border.
