Coronifera striolata subsp. varians

Coronifera striolata? subsp. varians O. Wetzel, 1933b, p.47-48, pl.4, figs.27-29 ex Sarjeant, 1984c, p.132.

TYPE: Lectotype: O. Wetzel, 1933b, fig.29; designated by Lentin and Williams (1989, p.78).

HISTORY: Originally Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma varians (name not validly published), subsequently Baltisphaeridium hirsutum forma varians (combination not validly published; Appendix A), thirdly Operculodinium hirsutum subsp. varians (combination not validly published), fourthly (and now) Coronifera striolata? subsp. varians. Questionable assignment: Sarjeant (1984c, p.132).

COMMENTS: Holotype not specified. The name Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma varians was not validly published in O. Wetzel (1933b), since the species name Hystrichosphaera hirsuta is not validly published. This is possibly a taxonomic synonym of Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma varians (name not validly published), which has a different holotype.

AGE: Late Cretaceous.
