Here is a large specimen of Ellipsocephalus with 37 mm from Rejkovice. Specimens of this enormous size are unknown from the site of Jince where Ellipsocephalus is mush more common. The specimens from Rejkovice where long time seen as the independent species Ellipsocephalus vetustus sensu POMPECKJ, 1895. Today the most authors agree that the find from Rejkovice have to be also accounted to Ellipsocephalus hoffi (Schlotheim, 1823). We list it here under the old taxon to separate this rarity from the common Jince type. |
