Abstract

According to all the main characteristics, the new species belongs to the genus Linoporella. At the species-specific level, Linoporella vesiculifera n.sp. is characterized by visibly widened distal ends of the secondary branches, which gives a vesiculiferous appearance to the outer surface of the thallus. The distal widenings are spherically or conically shaped and open outwards in a funnel-like form. A short review of the taxonomic validation of some Linoporella species is also given. The new species is derived from the Barremian deposits of Mt. Biokovo (central Dalmatia, Croatia).
