102 Evgenij J. BARABOSHKIN & Irina A. MIKHAILOVARemarks: Busnardoites kojasdlilgcnsis clearly differs<strong>from</strong> die type of Busnardoites by the character of cyclicityof internal whorls (it has two bunches <strong>and</strong> a singlerib) <strong>and</strong> the sculpture of external whorls, as well as bystrongly involute discoidal shell.Hoplites proneeostatus (FFLIX, 1891), figured by KARAKASCH [SPU 103/495; 1907, p. 87, pi. 11, fig- la-b(only)]is very close to our species, but has more dense ribbingin the internal whorls. The specimen SPU 103/494 figuredon pi. 10, fig. lOa-b in KARAKASCH (1907) differs<strong>from</strong> Busnardoites in having umbilical <strong>and</strong> lateral tuberclesin the inner whorls. Probably it belongs to Bodrakieeras.Regrettably, only the umbilical parts of the internalwhorls of our new species were available for study. Bymorphology they are very close to the type of Busnardoites,but are distinguished by less coarse ribbing <strong>and</strong>less projecting tubercles. Therefore, we consider that thespecies can be refeircd to Busnardoites.campyDistribution: Lower <strong>Valanginian</strong>, Campylotoxialotoxa Zone of <strong>South</strong>-<strong>West</strong> Crimea.Genus Campylotoxiagen. nov.Generic name: derived <strong>from</strong> the type species.Type: Hoplites campylotoxus UHLIG (1902, p. 49, pi. 4,fig. 2), Lower <strong>Valanginian</strong> of Dolni Lisma, Carpathians.Slovakia.Diagnosis: Moderately evolute. medium size shells, havinghigh trapezoidal <strong>and</strong> sparingly high rounded-trapezoidalwhorl-section <strong>and</strong> slightly keeled venter. Umbilicusbroad, shallow; umbilical wall is steep to vertical,narrow.Ribs are grouped in cycles, which are separated bya weak constrictions in the earliest whorls (D20mm this border is marked by a spiny umbilicaltubercle. The cycle terminates by a 3-4 - branchedrib or a tripartite bidichotomic rib, one of the branchesof which has additional bifurcation in the mid - toupper third of the whorl height. The ventral flattenedtubercles are orthogonal to the plane of symmetry ofthe shell in the early whorls, but they become subparallelto it in adult. There are about 10 cycles of ribbing perwhorl.Suture line: is characterised by trifid umbilical lobe (U).deeper than the ventral lobe <strong>and</strong> noticeably inclined to thewedge of the seam; the first umbilical lobe (U 1 ) trifid.half as deep as the umbilical lobe.External saddle (V/U) is broad <strong>and</strong> asymmetric; thefirst lateral saddle (U/U 1 ) is also asymmetrical. It is higher,but narrower than the external saddle.Composition: Campylotoxia brasseuri (COLLIGNION,1962); C. evoluta sp. nov.; C campylotoxa (UHLIG,1902) with two subspecies: C. campylotoxa campylotoxa(UHLIG. 1902) <strong>and</strong> C. campylotoxa densocostatasubsp. nov.VIuIT:tnmFig. 8 — The suture line of Campylotoxia campylotoxa campylotoxa (UHLIG, 1902); MSU 95/15 at H=10 mm; Lower <strong>Valanginian</strong>,Campylotoxia campylotoxa Zone of Verkhorechie Village, base of Rezanaya Mt., bed Kp23/15,
