Abstract
Abstract. A new Miocene phidoloporid, Iodictyum akaishiensis sp. nov., was collected from the Moniwa Formation (Langhian) near the Akaishi Bridge, Sendai City, Japan. It is the first fossil record of Iodictyum in Japan, and the fifth discovery of Miocene fossils of the genus from the Indo-Pacific area. The species resembles some Recent species from the western Pacific, especially in the large marginal pores, an open peristomial sinus and shaft, and subtriangular ooecial labellum. The characteristics of Iodictyum from Eocene to Recent are compared, and the trend of evolution in the genus is inferred.
期刊介绍:
Paleonotological Research (PR) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed international journal, which focuses on original contributions primarily in the area of paleontology but also covering a wide range of allied sciences. It has been published since 1997 as a successor to the former journal Transactions and Proceedings of the Palaeontological Society of Japan. The emphasis of contributions will include global and local perspectives, and contents can cover all ages (Precambrian to the Quaternary, including the present time).
