Brachypleura nana (Müller, 1999) Fig. 23A–D “genus Bothidarum” nanus Müller, 1999: 212, fig. 42/7–10, pl. 17 fig. 10 “aff. Brachypleura ” nana – Nolf 2013: 124, pl. 340. Remarks The otoliths of this species seem most similar to those of Recent Brachypleura (see Schwarzhans 1999: 87, figs 105–110 for otoliths of the Recent B. novaezeelandiae Günther, 1862), and therefore, were assigned to that genus by Nolf (2013). Stratigraphic and geographic distribution Lutetian: Piney Point Formation, Virginia.
