Abstract

The poorly known plectambonitacean genus Spanodonta Prendergast is re-assessed and its type species, S. hoskingiae Prendergast 1935 from the Lower Ordovician of Western Australia, redescribed. The only other species assigned to the genus, S. tingriensis Liu, is rejected from it. The genus is considered to be most closely related to Aporthophyla Ulrich & Cooper and is therefore assigned to the Taffidae.
