Abstract

Two new unusually gracile bohemograptid species are recorded from the leintwardinensis Zone of the UK, and are assessed as part of the global Bohemograptus Proliferation Zone (BPZ). The ‘robust’ form, B. woodcocki sp. nov., is a possible ancestor of Egregiograptus Rickards & Wright, 1997; it probably derived indirectly from Bohemograptus bohemicus tenuis (Bouček, 1936) via B. bohemicus sensu lato of Holland & Palmer (1974) from the incipiens Zone. The more slender form, B. stonei sp. nov., is a possible ancestor of Neolobograptus Urbanek, 1970, and probably arose directly from B. b. tenuis in the leintwardinensis Zone.
