The type specimen of Reptoceritites zahdlkai Prantl, 1938, from the Turonian of Bohemia, was not available for study during a visit in June 1986 to the Narodni Museum, Prague, and Prantl's illustration of a worn specimen is inadequate for positive identification of the species. However, topotype specimens (BMNH D54304-5) collected by Professor E. Voigt are conspecific with R. sarthacensis. One of the two specimens (SMD un-numbered; Voigt photocard 2814) from the plenus Zone of Dresden figured by Reuss (1872) as Diastopora oceani d'Orbigny appears to be a unilamellar colony of R. sarthacensis encrusting an oyster (pi. 27, fig. 2). Pergens (1890: p. 399) recognized that the D. oceani of Reuss was not the same as d'Orbigny's species and proposed Semielea reussi for D. oceani sensu Reuss. S. reussi is not placed in synonymy with R. sarthacensis because the second of Reuss's syntype specimens (pi. 27, fig. 3) is a different species and is here selected as the lectotype of 5. reussi (see p. 91). Among the material described from the Czechoslovakian Cenomanian/Turonian as Diastopora acupunctata Novak, 1877, is at least one specimen belonging to R. sarthacensis. This is the specimen shown in plate 6, fig. 1 of N
