Description
Summary:Three new genera and one new species are described in the present paper. The genera are the following : Cellarinelloides n. gen., type species C. crassus n. sp. Larvapora n. gen., type species Cellaria mawsoni Livingstone, 1928 and Trilaminopora n. gen., type species Micropofella trinervis Waters, 1904. Although Larvapora is considered as an intermediate state between Aspidosto- matidae and Cellaridae, its great structural similarity to Melicerita, allows us to include it in the latter family. Trilaminopora is classified in the Harmer’s Ascophora Imperfecta owing to its resemblance with genera such as Triporula and Exechonella. The new family Cellarinellidae is formed to group the genera Cellarinella Waters, 1904; Systenopora Waters, 1904 and Cellarinelloides n. gen., since Sclero- domus, the type genus of Sclerodomidae, was incorporated to Bifaxariidae by Harmer in 1957.
