Abstract
The brachiopod fauna (20 species in 6 genera) from the Ma’anshan section of the late Emsian Dale Formation at Zhongping, Xiangzhou county, central Guangxi is described. The fauna is dominated by spire-bearing brachiopods. One new genus and 4 new species are proposed: the smooth-shelled, septalium-bearingLubricospirifer gumoensis gen. et sp. nov.,Parathyrisina transitoria sp. nov.,Acrospirifer shipengensis sp. nov. andBarbarothyris? luhuiensis sp. nov.Athyrisinoidea Chen &Wan 1980 is regarded as equating partly withAthyrisina partly withParathyrisina. Excellence of preservation has provided an opportunity to present internal structure — obtained from serial sections — for 12 of the 20 species represented.
