Isogramma (Dictyonellida, Brachiopoda) from the Middle Carboniferous of Omi, central Japan

A single specimen of Isogramma millepunctata (Meek and Worthen, 1870) is described from the Fusulina-Fusulinella Zone (Moscovian) of the Omi Limestone in Omi, central Japan. This is the first record of Isogramma from the Carboniferous of Japan. The occurrence of Isogramma from Omi supports the palaeogeographical reconstruction that the Omi reef-sea mount complex was located at the northern middle latitudinal area of the western Panthalassa in the Middle Carboniferous time.
