Middle Cambrian lingulate brachiopods from Tarbagatay Range, Kazakhstan

• Early Middle Cambrian (Amgian) lingulate brachiopods from the TarbagatayRange in eastern Kazakhstan represent mosfly endemic taxa, which may suggestthat the Tarbagatay Range was relatively isolated from adjacent terranes duringthat time; oriy Kl.eithriatreta indicate similarity with the Australian part of Gondwana,as well as v{rith the south and central Kazakhstanian terranes. Late MiddleCambrian {Mayan) taxa from the same area are mostly cosmopolitan' Kostjubellarelnxata gen. et sp. n., Prototreta(?) doLosa sp. n. and Stilpnatreta galinae sp. n.are proposed.
