1971. "Murchisonia" n. sp.: Murata, p. 107, pl. 13, figs. 7-10.

Age and distribution. —Middle Permian (Kazanian). "Kuro zone" of the Akasaka Lime-stone in Akasaka area of Gifu Prefecture.
Remarks. —Four specimens illustrated by Masutomi and Hamada (1966) seem to be separable into two different species: the 1st and 3rd specimens from the left may belong to one species and the 2nd and 4th ones to another. The upper position of selenizone on the whorl is strange for Murchisonia and other genera of the Murchisoniidae.
