Tenison-Woods’ (1878a) illustration, there are 16 larger septa and 16 smaller septa and a prominent lamellar columella.
Remarks.—The species is known from only one small speci- men, undoubtedly the juvenile stage of a larger specimen, which shows the characteristic basal attachment of a Periplacotrochus. Three species of Periplacotrochus are known from the fossil beds of Muddy Creek, Victoria (P. elongatus, P. deltoideus, and P. cudmorei), and this juvenile specimen could be any of these three. A specimen of similar size and shape is shown herein as Figure 4.1 and 4.2. It is therefore suggested to treat the name as a nomen dubium, as defined by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (article 75.5).
Acknowledgments
I thank F. Holmes and R. Schmidt (National Museum of Vic- toria, Melbourne) for permission to study the Dennant types deposited at that museum and for providing images of those specimens. I also thank R. H. Ford for photographing the NMNH specimens and composing them into Figures 1–4.
