Hystrichosphaeridium? intermedium O. Wetzel, 1933b, p.46; text-fig.14 ex Deflandre, 1937b, p.77.
TYPE: Holotype: O. Wetzel, 1933b, text-fig.14. HISTORY: Originally Hystrichosphaera (name not validly published), subsequently Hystrichosphaeridium, thirdly Baltisphaeridium (Appendix A), fourthly (and now) Hystrichosphaeridium?. Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.56) as a problematical species. JUNIOR HOMONYM: Hystrichosphaeridium intermedium Eisenack, 1954a. COMMENTS: Matsuoka (1983a, p.16) considered Hystrichosphaeridium (as Polysphaeridium) zoharyi to be a possible taxonomic junior synonym of this species. This name was not validly published in O. Wetzel (1933b) since the generic name Hystrichosphaera was not validly published until 1937. AGE: ?Late Cretaceous.
