  • Mecynoecia cf. proboscidea (Milne-Edwards, 1838) (Fig. 1F) Pustulopora proboscidea Milne-Edwards, 1838: 219, pl. 12, fig. 2. Pustulopora attenuata Stoliczka, 1862: 77, pl. 1, fig. 1. Mecynoecia proboscidea – Zágoršek 2010: 32, pl. 18, figs 1-5 (cum syn.). MATERIAL EXAMINED. Holotype of Pustulopora attenuata, registered as 2010/259/16A. DIAGNOSIS. — Colony with four autozooecial tubes arranged around branch axis.Tubes very long, with circular to oval aperture situated on long peristomes. Frontal walls long, convex. Gonozooecium not developed. REMARKS Ŋe arrangement of zooecia very closely resembles that in Mecynoecia proboscidea, which is one of the commonest cyclostomes species in the Eocene (see Zágoršek 2003). Insofar as no gonozooecium is known in any of the Stoliczka specimens, the identification is not certain.Registered as 2010/259/16B are unrecognizable cheilostomes with a similar arrangement of zooecia.
