TL;DR: Zugmayerella taringaturaensis Campbell sp. nov. as discussed by the authors is found in both older and younger horizons within the Late Triassic within New Caledonia, and there is striking morphological similarity to Zugmaylla sp.
Abstract: Zugmayerella taringaturaensis Campbell sp. nov. (Laballidae, Brachiopoda) is locally abundant in a Monotis shellbed within Murihiku Supergroup clastic sediments of the Taringatura Hills, central Southland, New Zealand. It is found in both older and younger horizons within the Late Triassic. It occurs in New Caledonia, and there is striking morphological similarity to Zugmayerella sp. recorded from central Chile, and a closely related form occurs in north Peru. Through these latter, the New Zealand Late Triassic brachiopod fauna has links with that of western North America.

TL;DR: The morphology of Argyrotheca lorioli Smirnova, 1972, from the Lower Cretaceous of Crimea, Ukraine, was reinvestigated using SEM, found to be impunctate, and reassigned as the type species of a new genus Apodosia, new family Apodosiidae, order ?
Abstract: ABsTRAcr-The morphology of Argyrotheca lorioli Smirnova, 1972, from the Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian) of Crimea, Ukraine, was reinvestigated using SEM, found to be impunctate, and reassigned as the type species of a new genus Apodosia, new family Apodosiidae, order ?Rhynchonellida. Another micromorphic brachiopod, Spiriferina? oolitica (Moore, 1855) from the Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) Inferior Oolite of Somerset, England, is also reassigned to the new genus.
