Abstract

A Late Permian (Changhsingian) brachiopod fauna consisting of 15 species in 14 genera is described from the upper Toyoma Formation of Maeda in the South Kitakami Belt, northeast Japan. New species described are Petasmaia ehiroi, Geyerella ofunatoensis and Hustedia minuta. The Maeda fauna, which is a mixed Boreal‐Tethyan‐Panthalassan fauna, shows an affinity with Late Permian brachiopod faunas of South Primorye, Northeast China and North China.
