 note = {Thirteen brachiopod species belonging to twelve genera are described from a Middle Permian allochthonous basalt-limestone block of Hiyomo in the Nyukawa district, Mino Belt, central Japan. Among them, Lepidospirifer miyakei and Anomaloria hiyomoensis are new species. The Hiyomo fauna contains some Tethyan elements such as Enteletes, Compressoproductus and Eolyttonia, but lacks completely both the Boreal and Gondwanan elements, and closely resembles the Middle Permian (Leonardian to lower Guadalupian) brachiopod fauna of West Texas in generic and specific levels. The above data imply that the basalt-limestone block containing brachiopods was a part of a carbonate buildup on basaltic seamount at equatorial region of the Panthalassa, which probably connected zoogeographically with North America in Middle Permian.},
