Abstract
An Ordovician nautiloid ellesmerocerid originally described as Irianoceras antiquum (Plectronoceratidae) Kobayashi 1971 from Irian Jaya and assigned a probable age of post Tremadoc is shown to be a member of the Llanvirn ellesmerocerid genus Bactroceras Holm 1878 (Baltoceratidae). Irianoceras antiquum is placed in synonymy with Bactroceras latisiphonatum Glenister 1952 described from New South Wales, Australia. The new material provides a better analysis of the variability of the genotype, extends its geographic range, and documents the presence or former presence of upper Caradoc to lower Ashgill strata in Irian Jaya.
期刊介绍:
Alcheringa : An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology is the official journal of the Australasian Palaeontologists.
Alcheringa covers all aspects of palaeontology and its ramifications into the earth and biological sciences, including:
Taxonomy-

Micropalaeontology-
Vertebrate palaeontology-
Palaeobotany-
Palynology-
Palaeobiology-
Palaeoanatomy-
Palaeoecology-
Biostratinomy-
Biogeography-
Chronobiology-
Biogeochemistry-
Palichnology.
Review articles are welcome, and may be solicited from time to time. Thematic issues are also possible. Emphasis is placed on high quality and informative illustration, in both line drawings and photographs. Papers of general significance may receive preference over those of more local interest.
