III.—Psalidocrinus: A new genus of Crinoidea from the Tithonian of Stramberg

Extract

The species Eugeniacrinites stramlergensis was described by me in 1912 (pp. 161, 167, pi. iii, fig. 2) on the evidence of a single specimen (A). Examination of a better specimen (B), subsequently acquired, and believed to be of the same species, has convinced me that, though the species appears to belong to the family Eugeniacrinidæ, Zittel, still it belongs to none of the known genera. This new genus, it is true, resembles Apsidocrinus in the union of its interradial processes, which, form a kind of vault above the patinal cavity (Jaekel, 1907, p. 304; Remeš, 1912, pp. 163, 168), but it differs from that genus in the form of the interradial processes, and especially in the size and shape of the radial facets.
