Abstract

The fenestrate bryozoan Narynella narynica (Nikiforova, 1933) shows high potential for stratigraphic correlation of the Mississippian deposits of Middle Asia. This species was recorded in the upper Tournaisian to lower Viséan deposits of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and at various localities in Kazakhstan. New material for N. narynica is described and type material for this species is formally designated.

Kurzfassung

Die fenestrate Bryozoe Narynella narynica (Nikiforova, 1933) zeigt hohes Potential für stratigraphische Korrelation des Mississippiums von Mittelasien. Diese Art wurde in Sedimenten des oberen Tournaisiums und unteren Visèums von Usbekistan, Kirgisistan und an verschiedenen Lokalitäten in Kasachstan gefunden. Neues Material von N. narynica wird beschrieben und Typusmaterial formal festgelegt.
