Abstract

A new genus, Boreomica gen. nov., is established; it comprises small-sized gastropods widespread in the Jurassic of the Russian Plate, the taxonomic position of which was ambiguously treated by previous authors. The new genus is assigned to the family Rissoidae. The species composition and stratigraphical and geographical distribution of the genus and its species are discussed. From the Jurassic of the Russian Plate, Callovian Boreomica exigua (Gerasimov, 1992), the type species of the genus, and Kimmeridgian–Volgian Boreomica undulata (Tullberg, 1881), and members of the genus without species status from the Bathonian and Upper Oxfordian are described. Conchological polymorphism of species connected with their eurybiontic characteristics is discussed. Based on the study of samples of the species B. exigua from different types of facies, two subspecies are recognized, B. exigua exigua and B. exigua arenosa subsp. nov. Finds of gastropods morphologically similar to Boreomica are discussed: Katosira? sp. from Mitta et al., 2004, “Procerithium?” volgense Gerasimov, 1955, “Eulima” pusilla Tullberg, 1881, and “Hudlestonella” caleptra sensu Gerasimov, 1992 are considered. It is concluded that E. pusilla and H. caleptra are unknown zygopleurids, Katosira? sp. is likely a poorly preserved Katosira, and “Procerithium?” volgense is represented by a mixture of several species belonging to different genera: several zygopleurid species, the rissoids Boreomica undulata and Bralitzia. Shells of P. volgense in the P.A. Gerasimov’s collection from the Craspedites nodiger Zone are described as Laevipleura sp.
