"Hystrichosphaera" O. Wetzel, 1933b, p.33 ex
Deflandre, 1937b, p.61.
EMENDATION:
Davey and Williams, 1966a, p.29.
SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic senior synonym:
Spiniferites, according to
Sarjeant (1970, p.75).
Taxonomic junior synonym:
Hystrichokibotium, according to
Gocht (1969, p.32).
COMMENTS: The name
Hystrichosphaera was not validly published in
O. Wetzel (1932, p.136; 1933b, p.33), since no type was designated - this contravened the I.C.Z.N. (Article 13b), which is in effect in this case since O. Wetzel treated his microfossils as "protozoans" and used zoological classification.
Deflandre (1937b) considered that he was emending
Hystrichosphaera.
TYPE: not designated; "type species" -
Hystrichosphaera furcata, designated by
Deflandre (1937b, p.61).
Species:
DINOFLAJ (c) 1998
