Spiniferites varmae

Spiniferites? varmae Lentin and Williams, 1973, p.131.

EMENDATION: Matsuoka and Bujak, 1988, p.84-84, as Spiniferites? varmae.

TYPE: Holotype: Varma and Dangwal, 1964, pl.2, figs.7-8.

HISTORY: Originally Hystrichosphaera pseudofurcata, subsequently Spiniferites varmae, thirdly (and now) Spiniferites varmae?. Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.191) as a problematical species. Substitute name for Hystrichosphaera pseudofurcata Varma and Dangwal, 1964, p.66, pl.2, figs.7-8; the name Spiniferites pseudofurcatus is preoccupied.
