Reptomultelea canui co-occurs with the com- moner R. polytaxis (Voigt, 1924) in the Santonian of Westfa- lia and can be distinguished from the latter by its larger autozooids and less numerous kenozooids. The combination of well-rounded autozooidal apertures and narrow arch- shaped eleozooidal apertures can be used to recognize R. canui among other species of Reptomultelea. Distribution. Santonian of Westfalia, Germany. Reptomultelea convexa sp. nov. Figs 191-196 Material. Holotype: VH 10467, Turonian (?), Chenu, between Le Mans and Tours, Sarthe, France, collected by G. Breton. Paratypes: VH 10443, 10444, 10550 (8 fragments), Turo- nian, Bois de Gareau, near Ecommoi, Sarthe, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Museum (Natural History).
