Abstract

The known Productellinae from the Pilton Beds in N. Devon, England and from the Angertal Beds and Étroeungt Beds in the Bergisches Land, Germany are revised. The two subgeneraProductella (Whidbornella) andP. (Hamlingella) are redefined and a new subgenus,P. (Steinhagella), is proposed.P. (Whidbornella) andP. (Hamlingella) seem to be restricted to a sandstone-shale, Pilton-type facies, and both, together withP. (Steinhagella) become extinct in Europe at the top of the Devonian.
