- Abstract
A large number of fenestrate bryozoan species were named in ‘A Synopsis of the Characters of the Carboniferous Limestone Fossils of Ireland’ by Frederick M‘Coy (1844). At the same time, M‘Coy named the bryozoan genera Ichthyorachis, Ptylopora and Polypora, each of which by monotypy or by subsequent designation was based on new species within that work. Subsequently, d’ Orbigny (1849) named Fenestrellina with the type species Fenestella crassa M‘Coy, 1844 as type species; Miller (1961) named Parafenestella with the type species Fenestella formosa M‘Coy, 1844 as type species; and Wyse Jackson (1988) named Baculopora with the type species Vincularia megastoma M‘Coy, 1844. We re-describe here in more detail than previously the fenestrate type species originally published in M‘Coy (1844), provide diagnoses of the genera, and compare the nineteenth century genera with more recently named genera that have been discriminated specifically from them.
