Abstract

The bryozoans from the Late Miocene bioherms of Cape Panagia (Taman Peninsula) that have previously been attributed to Membranipora lapidosa (Pallas, 1801) are shown to belong to a new genus, Tamanicella gen. nov., which comprises two species: T. lapidosa (Pallas, 1801) and T. panagiensis sp. nov. T. lapidosa is represented by two life forms. One of them is characterized by bilaminate (more rarely unilaminate) sheetlike colonies with meandering lobes, and the other features erect branches. The lateral walls of each autozooecium in colonies of T. lapidosa have two multiporous septulae. T. panagiensis sp. nov. is characterized by massive multilaminate encrusting colonies and by the presence of three or four multiporous septulae in the lateral walls. The genus Tamanicella is placed in the family Membraniporidae. The diagnosis of this genus is provided and its two species are described.
