The Late Carboniferous amphibian genus Limnerpeton Fritsch, 1881 is revised on the basis of the type specimens of the eight original species described by Fritsch using material from Nýřany, Třemošná and Kounov, now in the Czech Republic. The type species Limnerpeton modestum is a nomen dubium restricted to a mandible that almost certainly belongs to an amphibamid temnospondyl but is not critically diagnostic. “Limnerpeton” laticeps and “Limnerpeton” macrolepis lectotypes are both small individuals of the same taxon as the later described Mordex calliprepes Steen, 1938 and thus form part of the hypodigm of Mordex laticeps comb. nov. “Limnerpeton” elegans is now Limnogyrinus elegans and is a member of the temnospondyl family Micromelerpetontidae. “Limnerpeton” obtusatum is a specimen of the microsaur Microbrachis pelikani. “Limnerpeton” dubium is an indeterminate tetrapod, probably either a temnospondyl or a pelycosaur. “Limnerpeton” difficile is a nomen dubium but the type is probably a small specimen of the tuditanomorph microsaur Crinodon limnophyes. “Limnerpeton” caducum is almost certainly a specimen of the ophiderpetontid aïstopod Oestocephalus granulosus. Several other described small temnospondyls from Nýřany are discussed and shown to be specimens of either Limnogyrinus elegans, Mordex laticeps or Amphibamidae incertae sedis. The tetrapod fauna at Nýřany includes four dissorophoid temnospondyls as proposed by Milner (1986) but with two changes in nomenclature. They comprise the branchiosaurid Branchiosaurus salamandroides, the micromelerpetontid Limnogyrinus elegans, the amphibamid Platyrhinops cf. lyelli and the primitive trematopid Mordex laticeps. These represent four of the five major dissorophoid families and demonstrate that the group had already diversified by the late Westphalian.
Limnogyrinus elegans (Fritsch) is the most primitive micromelerpetontid temnospondyl from the Upper Carboniferous of Nýřany, Czech Republic. Arecent revision of the taxon by Werneburg (1994) attributed to this species a skull in dorsal aspect which was significantly larger than any previously reported and showed evidence of snout elongation. Restudy of this specimen demonstrates it to be a skull, visible in ventral aspect, of a juvenile of Cochleosaurus bohemicus, a more primitive edopoid temnospondyl, which is frequent in the Nýřany assemblage. Werneburg’s diagnosis of Limnogyrinusis revised and the problems of constructing ontogenetic series are discussed.
New representatives of a stem group Paoliida attributed to family Paoliidae (Insecta: Protoptera) are described from the Upper Carboniferous (Langsettian) sphero−sideritic concretions of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) in Poland. Zdenekia silesiensis sp. nov. is based on forewing venation and supplemented by material of isolated hindwing similar in venation pattern. Darekia sanguinea gen. et sp. nov. differs from all other paoliid genera by the presence of a short contact between veins MP and CuA behind the division CuA and CuP. Composition of insect fauna exhibits high abundance of paoliid insects in the early Late Carboniferous ecosystems known also from other European localities such as Hagen Vorhalle in Ruhr Basin (Germany), and South Limbourg (Belgium and the Netherlands). It is the first record of true paoliids from the Polish part of paralic USCB supplementing a single historical record of Stygne roemeri considered as a taxon closely related to Paoliidae. The high abundance of paoliid insects from sphero−sideritic concretions in Sosnowiec and coal deposits previously known from the Czech part of Upper Silesian Coal Basin indicates considerable similarity of both faunas supported as well by their close stratigraphical correlation. Morphology of basal wing parts with remnants of articular sclerites preserved supports neopteran relationships of paoliids. Discovery of the first paoliid immature wing is reported suggesting similar living habitat for larvae and adults.
Extinct seed ferns (Pteridospermophyta) fill a key position in the evolutionary tree of seed plants. Their reproductive structures enable to recognition of the interrelationship within seed ferns and other seed plants descending from them. Seed fern reproductive structures from Poland are very rarely found and very poorly known, especially the pollen organs to which this paper is dedicated. A new genus and species Silesiatheca formosa Pacyna & Zdebska, gen. et sp. nov. of lyginopteridalean aggregated synangia was recognized based on specimens preserved within sideritic nodules from Sosnowiec. The genus Codonotheca is recognized from European Carboniferous for the first time. The least evolutionarily advanced species of Codonotheca − Codonotheca silesiaca Pacyna & Zdebska sp. nov., is described based on specimens with weakly expressed radial symmetry and slight fusion of the sporangia. This species matches the hitherto hypothetical simplest species of Codonotheca very well, constituting the initial form for all the more compound pollen organs of Medullosales. For the first time in the European Carboniferous the North American species Aulacotheca campbellii (White, 1900) Halle, 1933 is recognized. A new emended diagnosis for the typical species Boulayatheca fertilis (Kidston, 1914) Taylor & Kurmann, 1985 is proposed, based on specimens from Poland. Two new species of genus Boulayatheca Taylor & Kurmann, 1985 are recognized. Boulayatheca ciliata Pacyna & Zdebska, sp. nov. with a synangium surface covered with hairs (a feature hitherto unknown in the Boulayatheca genus) and Boulayatheca saganii Pacyna & Zdebska, sp. nov. with a markedly elongated synangium. Occurrence of Whittleseya Newberry, 1853a emend. Halle, 1933 typical species − Whittleseya elegans Newberry, 1853a was confirmed in Lower Silesia based on new specimens. Some specimens referred to earlier in the literature as W. elegans were ascribed here to the new species W. silesiaca Pacyna & Zdebska, sp. nov., which differs from typical species in synangium shape and sporangia clustering into groups. The new species Whittleseya campanulata Pacyna & Zdebska, sp. nov. has a large synangium and sporangia clustering into groups. Heterogeneity within the genus Whittleseya is recognized, where some species, including those new described here, probably formed compound synangia. The aggregated synangia of Medullosales are recognized in thecompression state of preservation for the first time they are the base for establishing a new genus and species Kotasotheca annaeadamii Pacyna & Zdebska, gen. et sp. nov. The genus Dolerotheca Halle, 1933 was recognized in the Polish Carboniferous for the first time and a new species Dolerotheca migierii Pacyna & Zdebska, sp. nov. was described. T.N. Taylor’s model of evolution of medullosalean pollen organs was confirmed, and the new taxa described were included within it.
