Fig. 53 Camera lucida drawings of Faujasia eccentripora Lees. A, BMNH EE3882, oral surface; B, BMNH EE3824, adapical surface. Scale bar = 5 mm. basicoronal plates of the interambulacra are rather narrow and elongate (Fig. 55), as are the next two pairs of plates in the posterior three interambulacra (Fig. 54). The bourrelets are rather square-sided and blunt-ended and project strongly (PI. 22, figs 5, 9, 12). The phyllodes are short and broad and are sunken. Pores are strongly arcuate with 8 to 12 pores in the outer series and only 2 or 3 in the inner series (Fig. 55). The inner series of pores are well separated from the peris- tome, but there are two pairs of sphaeridial pits adorally (Fig. 55). Miniscule buccal pores are present but are much smaller than other pores in the phyllodes and are clearly rudimentary only. The periproct is small and circular, width being 85-122% of its length. It lies close to the posterior margin on the oral surface at the end of the sternal ridge and faces slightly posteriorly (PI. 22, figs 7, 11). Tuberculation is fine and uniform aborally and slightly coarser adorally. There is a narrow naked zone that extends from just posterior of the posterior bourrelet half way towards the periproct. Remarks. This species was first erected by Lees (1928) for specimens from Jebel el Malih, Oman. It differs from Fauja- sia apicalis Desor, from the Maastrichtian of Belgium, the Netherlands and France in a number of important respects. F. apicalis has shorter petals, a sharper ambitus and is more pointed apically in profile. Furthermore, its peristome is much less anterior and the oral surface is flatter and lacks such a pronounced sternal keel. Genus ZUFFARDIA Checchia-Rispoli, 1917 Type species.
