Abstract

A new Miocene phidoloporid, Iodictyum akaishiensis sp. nov., was collected from the Moniwa Formation (Langhian) near the Akaishi Bridge, Sendai City, Japan. It is the first fossil record of Iodictyum in Japan, and the fifth discovery of Miocene fossils of the genus from the Indo-Pacific area. The species resembles some Recent species from the western Pacific, especially in the large marginal pores, an open peristomial sinus and shaft, and subtriangular ooecial labellum. The characteristics of Iodictyum from Eocene to Recent are compared, and the trend of evolution in the genus is inferred.
