Abstract
The twelve specimens described by Etheridge (1890) and Tate (1892) ori ginate from the first Australian collections of Archaeocyatha. Few of these are suitable for modern studies and most must be considered as n omina dubia. Only two taxa may be determined at species level and one at genus level. The species Coscinocyathus tatei Etheridge 1890 as res tricted by Tate (1892) is a senior synonym of Veronicacyathus frondeus Debrenne 1973, and consequently becomes the type species of Veronicac yathus Debrenne 1973.
