Abstract

Examination of collections from the Falkland Islands and South Africa shows that Chonetes falklandicus Morris and Sharpe, 1846, is a true Chonetes and is probably conspecific with Chonetes (Pleurochonetes) lauriata Isaacson, 1977, from Bolivia. Notiochonetes skottsbergi (Clarke, 1913) is quite different from C. falklandicus but is often associated with it in Malvinokaffric Realm Lower Devonian deposits.
