New Silurian-Devonian pseudophorid gastropods
Abstract. Pseudophorid gastropods typically occur as warm-water (tropical to subtropical) elements in Late Ordovician-Permian strata.

| Summary: | Abstract. Pseudophorid gastropods typically occur as warm-water (tropical to subtropical) elements in Late Ordovician-Permian strata. Silurian occur-rences are known from the North Silurian Realm (North Atlantic Region) and Devonian occurrences are known only from the Old World Realm and East-ern Americas Realm. No occurrences are known from the cool- to cold-water Malvinokaffric Realm during the Silurian or Devonian. New Silurian-Devo-nian taxa of this biogeographically distinctive gastropod family include three new genera: Gaspephorus, based on the Late Silurian (Ludlow-Přídolí) Euomphalopterus gasconensis Northrop from Gaspé and northern Maine; Peelophorus, based on Trochus astraliiformis Lindström from the Silurian (Wenlock) of Gotland; and Bergmadsenella, based on Pleurotomaria marklini Lindström, also from the Late Silurian (Wenlock) of Gotland.
