Family Spinochitonidae View in CoL Dell’Angelo, Lesport, Cluzaud & Sosso, 2019
Genus Spinochiton Dell’Angelo, Lesport, Cluzaud & Sosso, 2019
Type species. Chaetopleura gaasi Cherns & Schwabe, 2019 .
Distribution. Spinochiton is known only from the Oligocene (Rupelian) of Gaas ( France).
Remarks. The name Spinochiton (and Spinochitonidae ) originally introduced by Dell’Angelo et al. (2018a) were not validly described in that publication (Philippe Bouchet, in litteris) because the designated type species Chaetopleura gaasi Cherns & Schwabe (2019) , was not yet available at the time of publication of Spinochiton . Both taxa were subsequently validly described by Dell’Angelo et al. (2019c). The main characters of the species considered here are given in Tab. 16.
