Vesperopsis dolabella

Vesperopsis dolabella (Duxbury, 1983, p.25-26, pl.3, fig.11; text-fig.7) Bint, 1986, p.156.

TYPE: Holotype: Duxbury, 1983, pl.3, fig.11; text-fig.7.

HISTORY: Originally Australisphaera, subsequently (and now) Vesperopsis, thirdly Vesperopsis?. Questionable assignment: Lentin and Williams (1989, p.381), who stated incorrectly that Bint (1986, p.156) questionably included this species in Vesperopsis.

COMMENTS: Lentin and Williams (1993, p.665) included the species in Vesperopsis without question. Bint (1986, p.156) suggested that Muderongia? (as and now Vesperopsis) digitata is a possible taxonomic synonym of this species.

AGE: Early Albian.
