Genus PHYLACTELLA Hincks, 1880 



Hincks, 1S80, created this genus for species with long peristomie 

 with peristome much enlarged in its proximal portion and with 

 recumbent ovicell. He cited three species, P. labrosa Busk, 1852,

 being the type of Alysidota, the second may be selected as the type

to await more exact studies. The third is the type of a now genus 

 close to but distinct from Perigastrella Canu and Bassler, 1 ( .*20. 



Genus TEUCHOPORA Neviani, 1895 



The zooecia are lageniform; the frontal is covered by tremopores ; 

 the peristomie is free, smooth, oblique, salient; the peristome is 



orbicular. The apertura bears a small proximal rimulc. The zoariuin 

 is encrusting and formed by the generally biserial branches. Ovicell?
