Baltisphaeridium multipilosum Appendix A

multipilosum (Eisenack, 1931, p.111, pl.5, figs.20-22 ex Eisenack, 1938a, p.12) Eisenack, 1959, p.197.  Holotype: Eisenack, 1931, pl.5, fig.22, as Ovum hispidum subsp. multipilosum, lost according to Eisenack (1959, p.197).  Neotype: Eisenack, 1959, pl.15, fig.11, designated by Eisenack (1959, p.197).  Originally Ovum hispidum subsp. multipilosum (name not validly published, Appendix A), subsequently Hystrichosphaeridium multipilosum, thirdly (and now) Baltisphaeridium multipilosum.  This combination was not validly published in Eisenack (1958b, p.400), since that author did not fully reference the basionym.  The name Ovum hispidum subsp. multipilosum was not validly published in Eisenack (1931) since the specific name Ovum hispidum was not validly published.  Age: Silurian.

Parent: Baltisphaeridium
