Extract

Antiquatonia sulcata Cooper was described from the Lower Permian Coyote Butte limestone of central Oregon (Cooper, 1957, p. 35, Pl. 5C, figs. 18–22). The name sulcata, however, was previously applied by J. Sowerby (1822, p. 17, Pl. 319, fig. 2) to Productus sulcatus from the Upper Visean of Great Britain, revised by Muir-Wood (1928). The British species has now been considered to be congeneric with Antiquatonia Miloradovich (Sarytcheva and Sokolyskaya, 1952, p. 148; Muir-Wood and Cooper, 1960, p. 271; Litvihovich, 1962, p. 250; Zakowa, 1988, p. 57). The two forms are sufficiently different in external features to be separated as two species under Antiquatonia. Antiquatonia sulcata of Cooper consequently becomes a later homonym of A. sulcata (Sowerby). The author has been kindly asked (G. A. Cooper, personal commun.) to offer a replacement name, Antiquatonia cooperi, for Cooper's A. sulcata (non Sowerby). Description and comparison of the Oregon species and its holotype has been provided by Cooper (1957, p. 35).
