2F15F14DFF96FF9C0590AB4CFC44FAEF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Dybowskiella Waagen and Wentzel, 1886 differs from Fistulipora M‘Coy, 1849 in the shape of lunaria, the ends of which inflect autozooecial chambers in Dybowskiella. Dybowskiella differs from Eridopora Ulrich, 1882 in having horseshoe-shaped lunaria instead of triangular ones. The shape of lunaria with inflecting ends is the only significant character for discrimination of Dybowskiella. However, the inflection grade of ends of lunaria varies strongly in the species of Fistulipora, Dybowskiella and Fistuliramus. Therefore, the discrimination of the genus Dybowskiella is relatively uncertain. Occurrence. Middle Devonian – Upper Permian; worldwide.	en	Ernst, Andrej (2016): Bryozoan fauna from the Permian (Artinskian-Kungurian) Zhongba Formation of southwestern Tibet.

2F15F14DFF9DFF8B061EA8EBFDF7FCAF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The present material superficially resembles the species Goniocladia indica Waagen and Pichl, 1885, originally described from the Productus Limestone (? Kungurian – Wordian) of Salt Range, Pakistan. The original description of this species is based on external characters without use of thin sections. Only figure 3 e from plate 93 (Waagen and Pichl, 1885) shows a broken piece of branch, which reveals zooecial shape and vesicular skeleton typical for Goniocladia. Some important measurements such as aperture size and spacing of the original material are also unknown. Therefore, the assignment to this species by later authors was justified according to external parameters. Waagen and Pichl (1885, p. 805 - 806) provided the following measurements: branch width ca 1.5 mm, fenestrule length 3 – 7 mm, and fenestrule width 1 – 4 mm. They correspond in general with those of the present material. However, the present material possesses superior and inferior hemisepta, which were neither mentioned nor depicted in the original material. The present species is, therefore, only tentatively assigned with Goniocladia indica Waagen and Pichl, 1885. It differs from G. afghana (Termier and Termier, 1971) from the Lower Permian of Afghanistan and Iran (Ernst and Gorgij, 2013) by larger fenestrules (fenestrule length 4.3 – 6.9 mm vs. 1.26 – 2.73 mm in G. afghana; fenestrule width 2.4 – 3.7 mm vs. 0.75 – 1.56 mm in G. afghana). Moreover, the present species has wider spaced apertures (average aperture spacing 0.60 mm vs. 0.45 mm in G. afghana). The present species differs from Goniocladia yongzhuensis Liu and Wang, 1987 from the Lower Permian (Artinskian) of Tibet in possessing smaller autozooecial apertures (aperture width 0.15 – 0.22 mm vs. 0.20 – 0.24 mm in G. yongzhuensis) and larger fenestrules (fenestrule length 4.3 – 6.9 mm vs. 0.64 – 5.6 mm in G. yongzhuensis). Bassler (1929) and Crockford (1957) mentioned Goniocladia indica, but they did not provide either descriptions or illustrations of their material. Chinese citations of Goniocladia indica Waagen and Pichl, 1885 (Yang et al., 1981; Xia 1986, 1991) seem to correspond to the species described here. However, no description mentioned hemisepta.

2F15F14DFF81FF89063EAEECFDF7F8E9.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Two species are placed in the genus Liguloclema, L. typicalis Crockford, 1957 and L. meridianus (Etheridge, 1926), both originally known from the Noonkanbah Formation, Lower Permian (Artinskian – Kungurian) of Western Australia. Crockford (1957, p. 37) provided neither detailed description of L. meridianus nor made a comprehensive comparison between L. typicalis and L. meridianus. The only difference she mentioned was the smaller branch width of L. meridianus against L. typicalis (less than 1.8 mm vs. 3.3 – 5.0 mm in L. typicalis). The present material of Liguloclema meridianus differs from L. typicalis in larger distances between aperture centres (0.52 – 0.95 mm vs. 0.43 – 0.55 mm in L. typicalis). Occurrence. Noonkanbah Formation, Lower Permian (upper Artinskian-Kungurian); Western Australia. Rat Buri Limestone, Lower Permian (? Artinskian – Kungurian); Khao Raen, Thailand. Permian,?

2F15F14DFF83FF8F069CAB5BFAD1F9E0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Etherella tibetensis n. sp. differs from Etherella porosa Crockford, 1957 and E. porosa minor Crockford, 1957 from the Lower Permian (Artinskian – Kungurian) of Western Australia, in having larger and more closely spaced autozooecial apertures as well as an extremely thick extrazooecial skeleton. Etherella tibetensis n. sp. shows intermediate dimensions of colony elements comparable to both Australian species: Etherella porosa — branch width: 4.0 – 5.5 mm; fenestrule width: 3.0 – 5.0 mm; fenestrule length: 5.0 – 7.0 mm; aperture width: 0.13 – 0.16 mm; aperture spacing: 0.5 – 0.7 mm. Etherella porosa minor — branch width: 2.0 – 3.3 mm; fenestrule width: 2.0 – 2.5 mm; fenestrule length: 2.0 – 3.5 mm; aperture width: 0.14 mm; aperture spacing: 0.50 – 0.83 mm. Etherella tibetensis — branch width: 2.8 – 5.1 mm; fenestrule width: 1.6 – 3.3 mm; fenestrule length: 2.1 – 4.0 mm; aperture width: 0.12 – 0.21 mm (0.17 mm at average); aperture spacing: 0.45 – 0.66 mm (0.53 mm at average). The species Coscinotrypa orientalis Sakagami, 1968 from the Permian of Khao Ta Mong Rai, Thailand, may belong to Etherella. It shows oval apertures without lunaria, scarce vesicular skeleton and extensive extrazooecial skeleton. However, the presence of the hook-shaped hemisepta cannot be confirmed on that material because the part of the colony at mesotheca is strongly affected by diagenesis. This species also possesses larger autozooecial apertures (average autozooecial width 0.24 mm vs. 0.17 mm in E. tibetensis).	en	Ernst, Andrej (2016): Bryozoan fauna from the Permian (Artinskian-Kungurian) Zhongba Formation of southwestern Tibet.

2F15F14DFFB2FFBE040AA9A5FEE4FD41.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Timanodictya? sp. Sakagami, 1973 (p. 85, plate 14, figure 3) fits with the new species (average aperture width 0.16 (range 0.14 – 0.18 mm) vs. 0.16 (range 0.13 – 0.19 mm) in the present species). Timanotrypa australis n. sp. differs from T. borealis Morozova, 1970 from the Upper Permian (Kazanian) of the Russian Platform, by possessing smaller fronds (frond width 3.2 – 6.7 mm vs. 6 – 9 mm in T. borealis; frond thickness 1.1 – 2.2 mm vs. 2.0 – 3.0 mm in T. borealis). The wall structure in timanodictyid bryozoans is quite variable and includes such structures as microstyles and stenostyles. The term " stenostyle " has been suggested by Gilmour and Snyder (1986) instead of " cappilares " used by the Russian authors (cf. Morozova, 1970; Gorjunova, 1994). However, these structures are not uniform in their morphology among timanodctyines. Gilmour (personal commun., 2015) understands rods of stellate appearance in transverse section as stenostyles, whereas others are of circular shape in their transverse sections (as known in the Family Girtyporidae, for example). The original diagnosis of the genus Timanotrypa Nikiforova (1938) includes " stellate acanthostyles ". However, her figures 5 - 6 of plate 50 and figures 1 - 4 of plate 52 do not reveal any of such styles. Instead, they show small styles of circular shape in their transverse section. Neither the sample of Timanotrypa depicted by Gorunova (1994, plate 3, figure 1) shows any kind of stellate styles. The assignment of the present material to Timanotrypa followed largely on the base of the autozooecial shape, which is a very important character in the bryozoan morphology. Occurrence.

2F15F14DFFA1FFAB046EAEBAFAE0FB95.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. See genus diagnosis. Exterior description. Reticulate colony formed by broad branches fused together; colony shape unknown. Autozooecia arranged in 3 – 7 rows on branches. Autozooecial apertures circular, 6 – 7 apertures spaced per fenestrule length. Large nodes on the obverse colony surface, 0.05 – 0.12 mm in diameter. Smaller styles irregularly arranged, 0.025 – 0.030 mm in diameter. Reverse colony side smooth. Interior description. Autozooecial chambers long, narrow, tubular, with long vestibules, proximally recumbent on budding plate, rhomboidal in mid-tangential section, long axis parallel with branch axis. Hemisepta and diaphragms absent. Extrazooecial skeleton thick, laminated, traversed by abundant, moderate-size microstyles 0.003 – 0.006 mm in diameter. Apparent reproductive heteromorphs in the form of isolated zooecia with enlarged chambers in the proximal part of the vestibule, occurring on obverse colony surface. Chambers rounded, oval to semicircular in tangential section, 0.24 – 0.41 mm wide.	en	Ernst, Andrej (2016): Bryozoan fauna from the Permian (Artinskian-Kungurian) Zhongba Formation of southwestern Tibet.
