Abstract
A new genus Webbyites from the Lower and Middle Ordovician of Bohemia is de scribed. Its planar, feather-like benthic colonies (or their parts) display possible hydrozoan affinites. Webbyites is interpreted as an inhabitant of the littoral and sublittoral environment, with high energy, oscillating to current zones.
