Based on pictures that I've found on Polish language web sites like http://www.redbor.pl/skamienialosci/0_dewon.htm and http://www.skamielinyjm.entro.pl/dewon_srodkowy-68-p.html and from the publication "Middle Devonian Brachiopods of the Bodzentyn Syncline", Palaeontologia Polonica-No. 17, 1966, plate XVI, I'm calling this fossil Devonaria zeuschneri. It looks similar to Douvillina but the radial ribs are much coarser.
