Species
Sedilichnus spongiophilus Müller, 1977 nomen nudum
Taxon description
Wisshak et al., 2015
However, Sedilichnus is nomenclaturally unavail able, because it is an atelonym (conditionally proposed). In addition, reinvestigation of the type material of ‘Sedilichnus’ shows that it probably describes variably shaped oscula and thus is a genuine morphological character of the host sponge Prokaliapsis janus, rather than a bioerosion trace fossil.
Pokorný & Štofik, 2017
Diagnosis: Sedilichnus consisting of smooth-walled, bowl-shaped pits with a circular outline and rounded edge (Zonneveld and Gingras, 2014).
