Abstract

A new aeduellid actinopterygian, Neslovicella elongata sp. nov., is described from the Lower Permian of the Krkonoše Piedmont Basin (Bohemian Massif). The new taxon is based upon a collection of specimens that facilitated the revision of several characters of the Aeduellidae. N. elongata is described in detail and compared to other aeduellids. A second occurrence of this species in the Weissig Basin of Germany is also discussed.
