Abstract
Eight new species of the genus Sulcoactaeon are described from the Barremian and Hauterivian of the Ulyanovsk Volga region: S. gerassimovi sp. nov., S. fallax sp. nov., S. simbirskensis sp. nov., and S. kremenkensis sp. nov. from the Barremian, S. insuetus sp. nov., S. rotundus, sp. nov., S. polivnensis sp. nov., and S. shumilkini sp. nov. from the Hauterivian. Their geographical and stratigraphic distribution is discussed.
