Abstract

New bryozoans are described from the Famennian of Southern Transcaucasia: Petalotrypa myunkhbalaensis sp. nov. and Eridotrypella danzikensis sp. nov. (order Trepostomata) and Rectifenestella kadrluiensis sp. nov. and R. famenniensis sp. nov. (order Fenestrata). The paleobiogeographic relations that existed between Nakhichevan (Azerbaijan) and Armenia and other regions of Eurasia and the United States at the end of the Devonian are investigated.
