NEW GENERA OF PALEOZOIC POLYPLACOPHORA (MOLLUSCA)

The opportunity to study some of de Koninck's type specimens has provided insight into the taxonomic relationships of some polyplacophoran taxa. It is evident that errors have occurred in relating various specimens to taxa which differ significantly. Two examples of this related to a Devonian s...

Zusammenfassung:	The opportunity to study some of de Koninck's type specimens has provided insight into the taxonomic relationships of some polyplacophoran taxa. It is evident that errors have occurred in relating various specimens to taxa which differ significantly. Two examples of this related to a Devonian species in Germany and a Permian species in the US National Museum of Natural History are clarified and illustrated.
