A Triassic conodont Cratognathodus multihamatus (Huckriede) from the pelagic limestone of the Taho Formation in Ehime Prefecture, Southwest Japan is newly reconstructed as an octomembrate apparatus with segminate Pa, angulate Pb, breviform digyrate M, alate Sa, breviform digyrate Sb1, extensiform digyrate Sb2, bifurcate bipennate Sc1, and bipennate Sc2 elements. Among the elements, the Pb, M, and S series were regarded as those of a septimembrate or octomembrate species Gladigondolella tethydis (Huckriede) by previous authors. Cr. multihamatus may comprise a lineage of the Gondolellidae; it occurs in the Tethyan realm and ranges from late Spathian or early Anisian to late Carnian.
