Batioladinium micropodum

micropodum (Eisenack and Cookson, 1960, p.7-8, pl.2, figs.8-9) Brideaux, 1975, p.1240.  Emendation: Below, 1990, p.56, as Necrobroomea micropoda.  Holotype: Eisenack and Cookson, 1960, pl.2, fig.9.  Originally Broomea, subsequently (and now) Batioladinium, thirdly Necrobroomea, fourthly Imbatodinium.  Lentin and Williams (1993, p.59) retained this species in Batioladinium.  Taxonomic junior synonyms: Imbatodinium fractum, according to Below (1990, p.56); Broomea (now Batioladinium?) pellifera, according to Wiggins (1975, p.111) - however, Dörhöfer and Davies (1980, p.38) retained Broomea (as Batioladinium?) pellifera.  Brideaux (1977, p.10) and Below (1990, p.53) indicated that Davey (1974, p.64) considered Broomea (now Batioladinium) micropoda to be a taxonomic senior synonym of Broomea (as Necrobroomea, now Batioladinium) jaegeri; however, Davey (1974, p.64) did not include the holotype of Broomea (now Batioladinium) jaegeri in his synonymy for Broomea (now Batioladinium) micropoda.  Age: Aptian-Albian.
