Barroisella campbelli new name; Cooper 1942: 228. Barroisella campbelli Cooper, 1942 ; Baliński 1995a: 30, pl. 1: 10, 14, 16.

Material.—Fourteen more or less fragmentary specimens embedded in rock.

Remarks.—The available specimens are characterized by their small longitudinally elliptical shell that tapers posteriorly with poorly preserved internal markings. Internal markings of this species are well known from illustrated specimens from nearby localities ( Baliński 1995a: pl. 1: 10, 14, 16). Of those, the most characteristic internal feature is the dorsal median ridge that bifurcates near mid−valve and enfolds a second short ridge ( Baliński 1995a: pl. 1: 14, 16).

Occurrence.— B. campbelli is known from the Late Devonian of the USA (Indiana, New York). Studies by Baliński (1979, 1995a) indicate that in Poland (at Dębnik) this species ranges from the early Frasnian through the early Famennian ( Pa. crepida Zone ).
