We here describe and establish the new species Carinatina connorsi n. sp. of the distinctive atrypoid brachiopod genus Carinatina, from the late Emsian (latest Early Devonian) age Shellabarger Limestone of the Shellabarger Pass area, Denali National Park and Preserve, Talkeetna C-6 quadrangle, south-central Alaska. In addition, another species of Carinatina, C. sp. is also described from the same beds as C. connorsi n. sp. The host formation (Shellabarger Limestone) forms the oldest stratigraphic interval within the Mystic sequence of the Farewell terrane. The fauna of this interval is biogeographically distinctive and shows closest affinities with coeval fauna of the Kolyma region of northeastern Russia and elsewhere in Eurasia.
