Abstract

Abstract Prosphingites coombsi n. sp. is described from disturbed beds between Kaka Point and Nugget Point, south Otago. This species sugge5ts a late Scythian ( Subcolumbites Zone) age for these strata. A summary of all species previously assigned to Prosphingites is included to substantiate the conclusions regarding the age assignment.
