Resumen
Se describen seis especies de briozoos pertenecientes a la Formación Paraná. Se recolectaron en la localidad de Punta Gorda, próxima a la Ciudad de Diamante, en la provincia de Entre Ríos, Argentina. Los especímenes fueron hallados incrustando las valvas de ostras en un grainstone bioclástico, conformando un depósito parautóctono. El material descripto se refiere a los siguientes taxones: Acanthodesia cf. sulcata Canu (Membraniporidae), Microporella sp. (Microporellidae), Schizoporella sp. (Schizoporellidae), Schizoporellidae indet. y Schizosmittina sp. (Bitectiporidae), del orden Cheilostomata, y Tubulipora sp. (Tubuliporidae) del orden Cyclostomata. De entre ellos, sólo aquél referido al género Acanthodesia (pero como Membranipora) había sido descripto anteriormente para la Formación Paraná. En consecuencia, la lista de géneros de briozoos conocidos para la mencionada unidad se incrementa desde uno a seis. El género Schizosmittina, anteriormente conocido tan solo para el Mioceno de Francia y el Mioceno al Holoceno de Australasia, es registrado por primera vez en América del Sur.
Six species of bryozoans from the Paraná Formation are described herein. They were collected from the locality of Punta Gorda, close to the city of Diamante, in Entre Ríos province, Argentina. The specimens were found encrusting oyster shells in a bioclastic grainstone, representing a parautochtonous occurrence. The material described was referred to the following taxa: Acanthodesia cf. sulcata Canu (Membraniporidae), Microporella sp. (Microporellidae), Schizoporella sp. (Schizoporellidae), Schizoporellidae indet. and Schizosmittina sp. (Bitectiporidae), of the order Cheilostomata, and Tubulipora sp. (Tubuliporidae) of the order Cyclostomata. Of these, only the species included in Acanthodesia (but as Membranipora) had been previously described from the Paraná Formation. Therefore, the list of known bryozoan genera from this unit is enlarged from one to six. The genus Schizosmittina, previously known only from the Miocene of France and the Miocene to Holocene of Australasia, is recorded for the first time in South America.
