This new species resembles Reptomultelea. â â Fig. 154 Reptomultelea acclivata sp. nov., VH 10502, Lower Cenomanian, Miilheim-Broich, Westfalia, Germany, gonozooid, x 70. sarthacensis (d'Orbigny) and R. parvula sp. nov., with which it co-occurs at Mulheim. However, it differs in having abun- dant eleozooids with distally raised rostra, causing the plane of the aperture to be at a considerable angle to the colony surface and the colony to have a spiny appearance. In well-preserved specimens the distal ends of the rostra are slightly hooked, a feature unique to R. acclivata among melicerititids. Autozooid apertures are less elongate than in R. sarthacensis and larger than in R. parvula. The holotype colony evidently encrusted a fragment of a dendroid cyclostome, grew f
