Cleistosphaeridium pectiniforme

"Cleistosphaeridium pectiniforme" (Gerlach, 1961, p.195-196, pl.28, fig.14; text-fig.18) Davey et al., 1969, p.16.

EMENDATIONS: Sarjeant, 1984b, p.83-84,86, as Areosphaeridium pectiniforme; Stover and Williams, 1995, p.114, as Enneadocysta pectiniformis.

TYPE: Holotype: Gerlach, 1961, pl.28, fig.14; Sarjeant, 1984b, pl.1, fig.2; pl.4, fig.2.

HISTORY: NOW: Enneadocysta. Originally Baltisphaeridium (Appendix A), subsequently Cleistosphaeridium, thirdly Areosphaeridium?, fourthly Areosphaeridium, fifthly (and now) Enneadocysta.

SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic junior synonym: Areosphaeridium (now Enneadocysta) multicornutum, according to Sarjeant (1984b, p.83-84,86)- however, Stover and Williams (1995, p.112) retained Areosphaeridium (as Enneadocysta) multicornutum.

COMMENTS: This combination was not validly published in Davey et al. (1966, p.170), since these authors did not fully reference the basionym.

AGE: mid Oligocene.
