Apophysiactinia Won, 1997 Apophysiactinia Won, 1997a: 362. TYPE SPECIES. — Apophysiactinia trispinula Won, 1997 (Won 1997a: 364, pl. 6, fig. 13, 14, 17). AGE AND LOCATION OF TYPE MATERIAL. — Frasnian (Upper Devonian), Gogo Formation, Canning Basin, Western Australia. TAXON CODE. — 077. STATUS. — Valid. DIAGNOSIS. — “With or without (?) a spherical shell, six rays arising from a median microbar, each ray having three apophyses at one or two levels. The apophyses can be elements of mesh forming a very loosely constructed shell or lie free on spines. Microthorns present along the rays and apophyses.” (Won 1997a: 362). REMARKS This genus is assigned to the Family Archaeosemantidae Kozur & Mostler 1981 the definition of which was emended by De Wever et al. (2001).
