Biogeography and taxonomy of the Middle Jurassic zeillerid brachiopods Eudesia and Sphriganaria. Feldman, Howard R., Schemm-Gregory, Mena, Ahmad, Fayez and Wilson, Mark A. Mesozoic workers are generally of the opinion that the common European zeillerid brachiopod genus Eudesia King, 1850 also occurs along the southern Tethyan margin. Recent research in the Jurassic Ethiopian Province of Jordan, Israel and Saudi Arabia, however, indicates that Cooper’s (1983) genus Sphriganaria has been misidentified over past decades as Eudesia. Eudesia is a strictly European taxon that, according to Muir-Wood (1965), has a cardinal process that is complicated in structure, hollow, with two small cavities, trilobed, prominent, and elevated above fused thickened hinge plates that are commonly pierced by 3 small cavities. Sphriganaria does not have a cardinal process but superficially resembles Eudesia. Similar genera include Xenorina, a eudesiod with a long, massive, bilobed cardinal process and Apothyris, with its distinctive ornamentation consisting of three generations of intercalation and eudesiid cardinalia similar to Sphriganaria. Sphriganaria is abundant in the Jurassic of Saudi Arabia (Dhruma Formation), Jordan (Mughanniyya Formation) and Gebel El-Maghara, Sinai Peninsula, Egypt (Masajid Formation). However, it is rare or absent in correlative strata in Israel (Hamakhtesh Hagadol, Makhtesh Ramon), Somalia (Bihen Limestone, Gahodleh Shale, Wanderer Limestone, Daghani shales) and Ethiopia (Antalo Limestone). Eudesia is confined to the Bathonian according to Muir-Wood (1965:830) whereas Sphriganaria ranges from the Bajocian to the Kimmeridgian. After sectioning numerous specimens from the Middle Jurassic (Callovian) of Jordan we were able to reconstruct and illustrate the loop of Sphriganaria Cooper, 1983 for the first time. .
