Abstract

Systematic descriptions of specimens collected from Pachchham ‘Island’, Kachchh, Western India, belonging to the genera Micromphalites Buckman and Gracilisphinctes Buckman are given. Their affinities with the different forms belonging to the above genera are discussed and described as Micromphalites aff. hourcqui Collignon and Gracilisphinctes cf. arkelli Collignon respectively. The distribution of these two genera in other regions is also briefly discussed.
