Camarotoechia Explained

Camarotoechia is an extinct genus of brachiopods found in Paleozoic strata.^{[1] [2]}

Taxonomy

Cherkesova (2007) reassigns two taxa, "radiata" and "omaliusi", that Nalivkin had placed in Camarotoechia, to Sinotectirostrum as a new combination for a species and a subspecies respectively. The type of Camarotoechia is perhaps Atrypa congretata Conrad, 1841. The species †Camarotoechia elegans^[3] is from the Ordovician and Silurian of the Siberian Platform. It includes one subspecies Camarotoechia elegans forma ramosa.^[3]

Species

The following species of Camarotoechia have been described:^[4]

• C. bimesiornata
• C. dotis (Floresta Formation, Colombia)^[5]
• C. elegans (Siberia)^[3]
• C. haraganensis
• C. latisinuata
• C. tethys
