Camarotoechia is an extinct genus of brachiopods found in Paleozoic strata.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Cherkesova (2007) reassigns two taxa, "radiata" and "omaliusi", that Nalivkin had placed in Camarotoechia, to Sinotectirostrum as a new combination for a species and a subspecies respectively. The type of Camarotoechia is perhaps Atrypa congretata Conrad, 1841. The species †Camarotoechia elegans[3] is from the Ordovician and Silurian of the Siberian Platform. It includes one subspecies Camarotoechia elegans forma ramosa.[3]

Species

The following species of Camarotoechia have been described:[4]

  • C. bimesiornata
  • C. dotis (Floresta Formation, Colombia)[5]
  • C. elegans (Siberia)[3]
  • C. haraganensis
  • C. latisinuata
  • C. tethys
