    Abstract

    The first pachycormid from the lithographic limestone of Cerin (Ain), France is described. It is considered a new species of the genus Orthocormus WEITZEL and has been named Orthocormus teyleri nov. spec. Orthocormus cornutus WEITZEL, 1930 has been reexamined. An emended diagnosis of the genus Orthocormus WEITZEL is given. In a cladogram of the relationships between pachycormids Orthocormus is regarded as the sister­ group of Protosphyraena.
