Abstract
In 1900, Uhlig proposed five new species of ammonites and one brachiopod species, Early Jurassic in age, from the Praşca Klippe (Rarău Syncline, Eastern Carpathians). “Rhacophyllites” bucovinicus is the only phylloceratid described, which displays a very wide umbilicus and a unique small keel near the aperture. Following Uhlig’s holotype, new specimens were found, only recently, and a topotype series was formed. After the Uhlig’s holotype, new specimens were found only recently forming a topotype series. Previously quoted records in different areas (e.g. Bocskorbergs – Bakony Mountains, Hungary; Montagna del Casale – Sicily, Italy; Hierlatz – Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria; Male Karpaty – Western Carpathians, Slovakia ) are discussed, as well as the modern assignment of the species.
