Garcí | a-Alcalde J L
A new species of <i>Voskopitoechia</i>, <i>V. chlupaci</i> sp. nov. from the Pragian of the Cantabrian Mountains (N Spain) is described. The genus <i>Voskopitoechia</i> was already known by its type-species, <i>V. orbona</i>, from the Pragian of Bohemia. The occurrence of both <i>Voskopitoechia</i> species in northern Gondwana is related to a large faunal turnover in the aftermath of the <i>Sulcatus</i> Event, and also coincided with the onset of tropical conditions that allowed the occurrence of the first Devonian reef-building episodes in Gondwana. The palaeobiogeographical distribution of <i>Voskopitoechia</i> likewise supports the increasing closeness in Pragian times of peri-Gondwanan terranes as Northern Iberia and Perunica.
