Phelodinium pachycerum

Phelodinium pachycerum Liengjarern et al., 1980, p.486-487, pl.54, fig.4.

TYPE: Holotype: Liengjarern et al., 1980, pl.54, fig.4.

COMMENTS: Liengjarern et al. (1980) stated that the epithet was derived from the Greek "pachys" = large and "keros" = horn. Since Principle 5 of the I.C.B.N. states that taxon names are to be treated as Latin and since compound epithets are conventionally treated as adjectives, the epithet should be rendered as "pachycerum" in agreement with the neuter gender of the generic name.

AGE: Late Eocene-Early Oligocene.
