Abstract

A gastropod assemblage is described from the middle Lower Devonian (Pragian) of Alai Ridge, Kyrgyzstan. It includes eight species, six of which are new. Two new genera are established, Alaionema and Barroisocaulus. Newly named species belonging to the above genera include: Alaionema kyrgyzensis and Barroisocaulus oliveri. In addition, four new species belonging to extant genera are also described: Omphalocirrus kaukensis, Ruedemannia tienshanica, Oriostoma sarydalchaensis, and Goniasma? asiatica.
