Abstract

Five species of Ordovician Bryozoa are redescribed, based on the type specimens of Lonsdale (in Murchison, 1839: “Favosites fibrosa” (1843: “Ptilodichtya” dichotoma), Phillips (1848: “Favosites” favulosa), and McCoy (1850: “Nebulipora lens” and “Ptilodichtya explanata”). Six other species are discussed and some of them figured, but the preservation of the material does not allow a complete redescription of them.
