Odontochitina silicorum

"*Odontochitina silicorum" Deflandre, 1937b, p.95, pl.18 (al. pl.15), figs.8-13.

TYPE: Holotype: Deflandre, 1937b, pl.18 (al. pl. 15), fig.8.

SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic senior synonym: Ceratium (as Odontochitina) operculata, according to Deflandre and Cookson (1955, p.292).

COMMENTS: The nomenclatural type of the genus Odontochitina remains the holotype of Odontochotina silicorum. This name was not validly published in Deflandre (1935, p.234, caption to pl.9, figs.8-10), since that author did not designate a type, a requirement at that time under the I.C.Z.N.

ETYMOLOGY: N.I.A.

AGE: Late Cretaceous.
