Abstract

The type specimens of Naladites mytiloides Dawson and Curvirimula corvosa Rogers from the Rivers-dale Group of Chimney Corner have been re-examined. Both morphospecies can not be referred unequivocally to the genus Curvirimula Weir. The holotype of Naladites mytiloides is so poorly preserved as to make this morphospecies almost undefinable, however, the types of Curvirimula corvosa are well preserved. RÉSUMÉ On a réexamié les spécimens - types de Naladites mytloides Dawson et Curvirimula corvosa Rogers provenant du Croupe de Riversdale à Chimney Comer. On peut maintenant attribuer hors de tout doute ces deux espèces au genre Curvirimula Weir. La pitoyable préservation de l’holotype de Naiadites mytiloides rend cette espèca morphologigue presque indéfinissable; par contre, les types de Curvirimula corvosa sont tous bien préserve's [Traduit par le journal)
