Abstract
At least four of the seven described species of Amyzon are valid species with doubtful status given to Amyzon pandatum Cope, 1874, and Amyzon fusiforme Cope, 1875. Amyzon gosiutensis Grande, Eastman, and Cavender, 1982, is a junior synonym of Amyzon aggregatum Wilson, 1977b. The Klondike Mountain Formation specimens examined from Republic, Washington, are identified as Amyzon aggregatum Wilson, 1977b. The known range of A. aggregatum is extended south to Republic, Washington, and southeast to the Laney Shale Member of the Green River Formation, Wyoming.Keywords
