Holotype: VH 10450, Turonian ('C22' division), Kyzylsaj, ca 180 km east of Fort Shevchenko, Kazakhstan, Najdin Collection. Paratypes VH 10542 (6 specimens), details as for holotype. Name. In honour of the Russian bryozoologist Viskova. Description. Colony bifoliate with branches (Fig. 95) nar- row, strap-like, bifurcating, about 1-3-2-0 mm wide and 0-5-0-6 mm deep. Autozooidal arrangement variable, both autozooids and eleozooids divergent close to branch margins; organization fixed-walled. Overgrowths common. Colony base unknown. One of the paratypes grows against and partially envelops a ?serpulid tube. Autozooids (Fig. 96) large; frontal walls irregularly hex- agonal, distally rounded, elongate, 2-5-3 x longer than wide, with circular pseudopores; zooecial boundaries raised. Aper- tures (Fig. 99) of moderate size, longitudinally elongate, on average 1-1 x longer than wide, attaining maximum width just proximal to mid-length, appreciably narrower at hinge line level, well-rounded distally; apertural shelf broad, 0-02-0-03 mm wide, causing the aperture to have the shape of a high isosceles triangle with rounded corners; apertural rim. Fig. 95 Elea viskovae sp. nov., VH 10450, holotype, Turonian ('C22' division), Kyzylsaj, ca 180 km east of Fort Shevchenko, Kazakhstan, Najdin Collection; branch with autozooids and marginal eleozooids, x 37. moderately prominent; hinge line bowed. Opercula (Fig. 97) often preserved in-situ, slightly convex, with about 16 pseudopores arranged in a cresent parallel to the distal/lateral margin. Terminal diaphragms (Fig. 97) positioned proximally to the apertural shelf, ?non-pseudoporous. Intramural buds not observed with certainty. Eleozooids (Figs 95, 96) common, located close to branch margins, about 2-2-5 longer than wide, their frontal walls a little longer and significantly wider than those of the autozoo-
