Abstract

Radiolarians from the Upper Triassic of the allochthonous Mamonia Assemblage of southern Cyprus are considered. The Phasoula Formation, composed of basic volcanics, with lenses and interbeds of micritic limestones and cherts, contains (1) a Lower Norian assemblage with Capnodoce crystallina-Trialatus robustus, which also includes Capnodoce anapetes De Wever, Capnuchosphaera deweveri Kozur et Mostler, C. theloides De Wever, Deflandrecyrtium curvatum Kozur et Mostler, Icrioma cruciformis Tekin, Kahlerosphaera norica Kozur et Mock, Kinyrosphaera helicata Bragin, Mostlericyrtium sitepesiformis Tekin, Palaeosaturnalis latiannulatus Kozur et Mostler, Spongostylus tortilis Kozur et Mostler, Xiphotheca rugosa Bragin, and Zhamojdasphaera proceruspinosa Lahm; (2) a Middle Norian assemblage with Capnodoce sarisa accompanied by Loffa mulleri Pessagno, Nabolella trispinosa Bragin, and Praexehasaturnalis tenuispinosus (Donofrio et Mostler); and (3) an Upper Norian assemblage with Livarella densiporata-Lysemelas olbia accompanied by Pentactinocarpus sevaticus Kozur et Mostler, Praemesosaturnalis multidentatus (Kozur et Mostler), and others. This assemblage also occurs in clastic turbidites of the Vlambouros Formation. In the sections of southern Cyprus, radiolarian zones are recognized that correspond to the zones previously established in the Far East of Russia, which include Capnodoce crystallina (Lower and Middle Norian) and Lysemelas olbia (lower part of the Upper Norian). Radiolarians belonging to three orders, 24 families, 59 genera, and 101 species are described; of them 2 genera, 9 species, and 1 subspecies were previously described by the author; 14 new species and 1 new subspecies are established. The diagnoses of many genera and species are emended, the stratigraphic and geographical ranges of the majority of taxa are substantially expanded.
