Abstract
A distinctive, new periechocrinid camerate crinoid, Pulchercrinus hardyi n. gen., n. sp. is described from the Lower Devonian Seifen Formation of the Rhenish Massiv of the western Westerwald Mountains, Germany. The arm rays of this new periechocrinid are convergent toward some genera in the Scyphocrinitidae and the Marhoumacrinitidae, and Pulchercrinus expands the morphological disparity of the Periechocrinidae.
