Abstract

The genus Paraphillipsia Tumanskaya, 1935 is revised and the species P. taurica Tumanskaya, 1935 from the Middle Permian of Crimea is redescribed. The age distribution of species of the genus Paraphillipsia from Crimea is emended based on new stratigraphic data on the locality (species previously considered Artinskian became Roadian). As a result of analysis of a rather large number of new records of trilobites, the species P. kussicum, P. tauricum var. anfensis, and P. netschaewi are synonymized under P. taurica.
