Abstract

The microornamentation and types of punctation of the Devonian spiriferids Tokmospirifer Oleneva, 2010, Adolfia Gurich, 1909, Echinospirifer Ljaschenko, 1973, Komispirifer Ljaschenko, 1973, Cyrtospirifer Nalivkin in Frederiks, 1924, Uchtospirifer Ljaschenko, 1957, Rotundospirifer Oleneva, 2010, Pyramina Ljaschenko, 1969, Warrenella Crickmay, 1953, Thomasaria Stainbrook, 1945 of the order Spiriferida Waagen, 1883 and Cyrtina Davidson, 1858, Cyrtinaria Oleneva, 2004, Ljaschenkovia Oleneva, 2010, Komiella Ljaschenko, 1985 of the order Spiriferinida are described. New classification of punctate spiriferids is elaborated.
