Farmerella exoporosa gen. et sp.nov. is described from cold-water Permian (Bernacchian-Lymingtonian) rocks of Tasmania. The new taxon is essentially homeomorphic with Glendonia McClung & Armstrong, 1978. However, Glendonia possesses a micro-ornament of low, elongate microspines behind shallow, elongate grooves, whereas Farmerella gen.nov. (as in Notospirifir Harrington, 195 5) has deep, elongate and globose pits which penetrate the rhickened outer primary shell layer but not the inner shell layer. This feature suggests that Notospirifir and Farmerell.a gen.nov. are closely related and should be assigned to a separate subfamily, the Notospiriferinae Archbold & Thomas, 1986 (emended herein), and Glendonia, BirchsellaClarke, 1987 and KelsoviaClarke, 1990 to a separate subfamily, the Glendoniinae nov. The areal and stratigraphical distributions, and evolutionary relationships of the various genera are briefly discussed.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
