- Mecynoecia cf. pulchella (Reuss, 1847) (Fig. 1E) Cricopora pulchella Reuss, 1847: 40, pl. 6, fig. 10. Pustulopora (Clausa) retifera Stoliczka,1862:78, pl.1, fig.2. Mecynoecia pulchella – Zágoršek 2010: 32, pl. 17, figs 1-8 (cum syn.). MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Two colonies of Pustulopora (Clausa) retifera, both lacking a gonozooecium, are registered as 1862/0022/0047. Owing to taxonomic uncertainty, no lectotype of Stoliczka’s species has been selected. DIAGNOSIS. — Colonies branches broken into a short length, with 12-14 autozooecial tubes arranged around branch axis. Tubes narrow, short, with circular to oval aperture. Apertures are very densely arranged,situated on short peristomes.Frontal walls short, slightly convex, smooth, sparsely perforated by small pseudopores. Gonozooecium lacking. REMARKS Ŋe arrangement of zooecia very closely resembles that in Mecynoecia pulchella, which is very common in tertiary sediments of Paratethys (see Zágoršek 2010). Insofar as gonozooecia are lacking in any of the Stoliczka specimens, the identification is not certain.
