"Planctonites nagyae" Head, 1992, p.250,252.
TYPE: Holotype: E. Nagy, 1969, pl.2, figs.3-4,6. STATUS: Name illegitimate - nomenclatural senior synonym: Deflandridium (now Planctonites) stellatum, which has the same type. HISTORY: NOW: Planctonites stellatus. Originally Deflandridium stellatum, subsequently Planktonites nagyae (name illegitimate), thirdly (and now) Planctonites stellatus. Substitute name for Deflandridium stellatum E. Nagy, 1969, p.294, pl.2, figs.1,3-4,6. COMMENTS: Head (1992, p.250) considered that transfer of Deflandridium stellatum to Planctonites would create an illegitimate junior homonym of Planktonites stellarius (Potonié, 1934) Krutzsch and Vanhoorne, 1977; however, the two epithets are not identical. AGE: Late Miocene.
