"Hystrichosphaeridium? cruciatum" O. Wetzel, 1933b, p.48-49, pl.4, fig.30 ex Lejeune-Carpentier, 1940, p.B222.

EMENDATION: Lejeune-Carpentier and Sarjeant, 1981, p.22-23, as Veryhachium cruciatum.

TYPE: Holotype: O. Wetzel, 1933b, pl.4, fig.30.

HISTORY: NOW: Multiplicisphaeridium? (Appendix A). Originally Hystrichosphaera (name not validly published), subsequently Hystrichosphaeridium, thirdly Hystrichosphaeridium?, fourthly Veryhachium (Appendix A), fifthly (and now) Multiplicisphaeridium? (Appendix A). Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.56) as a problematical species.

COMMENTS: The name Hystrichosphaera cruciata was not validly published in O. Wetzel (1933b), since the generic name Hystrichosphaera was not validly published until 1937.

AGE: Late Cretaceous.
