24 ON REDISCOVERED TYPES OF CHEILOSTOME BRYOZOANS DESCRIBED BY VOIGT (1924, 1930) FROM THE SUBHERCYNIAN CRETACEOUS BASIN AND VICINITY Martha S.O. 1 , Matsuyama K. 2 , Taylor P.D. 3 , Scholz J. 1 1 Senckenberg Forschungsinstitute und Naturmuseen, Sektion Marine Evertebraten III (Bryozoologie), Senckenberganlage 25, 60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, silviu.martha@senckenberg.de, joachim.scholz@senckenberg.de 2 Senckenberg am Meer, Abteilung Meeresforschung, Südstrand 40, 26382 Wilhelmshaven, Germany, kei.matsuyama@senckenberg.de 3 Department of Earth Sciences, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, United Kingdom, p.taylor@nhm.ac.uk Type material of three bryozoan species first described by Ehrhard Voigt in his early publications has been recently rediscovered. All bryozoan material described by Voigt between 1923 and 1942 was previously believed to have been either destroyed in 1943 with the rest of Voigt’s first bryozoan collection, or otherwise lost. Thus, it came as a big surprise when type material described by Voigt (1924, 1930) was rediscovered (Martha 2014). The material is from the collections of Hermann Brandes (1855–1940) and the Preußische Geologische Landesanstalt (PGL) and came from the Middle Santonian of two localities in northern Germany. The three cheilostome bryozoan species Chiplonkarina [Conopeum] congestum (Voigt, 1924), Onychocella [Ogiva] promonturiorum (Voigt, 1924), and Wilbertopora [Membranipora] brandesi (Voigt, 1930) from the Subhercynian Cretaceous Basin and the eastern Lower Saxony Basin are revised herein using new SEM and microphotographic images. All three species are morphologically very simple. C. congestum and W. brandesi represent the first documented examples of the genera Chiplonkarina Taylor & Badve, 1995 and Wilbertopora Cheetham, 1954 from northern Germany, except for findings of W. (?) woodwardi (Brydone, 1910) in Heligoland. The holotypes of C. congestum and W. brandesi, however, are the only known material of these species. In contrast, O. promonturiorum is a common and characteristic species in the Santonian and Early Campanian of northern Germany. We report several new specimens from the Voigt Collection of O. promonturiorum. Based on new findings we split this species into two morphologically similar but distinct species, O. promonturiorum sensu stricto and the new species O. ellinorvoigtae n.sp. is established in honour of Ehrhard Voigt’s wife and supporter Ellinor Voigt.
