Abstract
A new dipnoan species, Dipnotuberculus bagirovi sp. nov. (Dipnoiformes, Dipnorhynchidae), is described based on an incomplete palatal part of the skull from the Upper Givetian (Middle Devonian) of the Pavlovsk (Shkurlat) quarry in the Voronezh Region of Central Russia. This is the first discovery of dipnoan material in the Middle Devonian of the Central Devonian Field of Russia and the first record of Dipnorhynchidae of this age within the Baltic paleozoogeographical Province. Distribution analysis of this family supported by general zoogeographical faunistic analysis suggests the dipnorhynchid dispersal from Gondwana to Laurussia via Armorican faunistic province.
