Conditolepis prima (Ziegler et Huddle, 1969), an early member of the C. glabra lineage, from the K. crepida Zone at Jabłonna and Kadzielnia  in the Holy Cross Mountains - P₁, P₂, S₀ , S₂ and M elements.

Diagnoza

Narrow P₁ elements with short anterior lobe having elevated rounded margin and no posterior lobe.

Porównanie

The species is transitional between //C. tenuipunctata// and //C. glabra// but usually is understood in a typological sense. However,// C. tenuipunctata// and //P. unca// share the same type locality and there is nothing in the text of their original description (Sannemann 1955//a//) that would suggest that they occur in different horizons. Moreover, Sanemmann (1955//a//) illustrated typical //C. glabra// from the same locality. . In material from Holy Cross Mountains //C. tenuipunctata //and //C. glabra//, as well as populations possibly transitional between them, do not differ in their apparatus composition. This refers also to the M elements and the specimen illustrated by Schülke (1999, pl. 3: 18) as belonging to //C. tenuipunctata// may be atypical. Narrow-platform elements classified by Schülke (1999) in //P. unca// co-occur with typical elements of //C. tenuipunctata// in its late samples and the same is in the Montagne Noire material of Schülke (1999, p. 91). This suggests that these are just morphologies within monospecific populations instead of distinct species and that in the course of evolution narrow-platform elements became more and more numerous.
