Muderongia neocomica

"neocomica" (Gocht, 1957, p.172-178, pl.19, figs.1-5; pl.20, figs.1-7; text-figs.7-16) Lentin and Williams, 1993, p.438.  Emendation: Helby, 1987, p.310-313, as Phoberocysta neocomica.  Holotype: Gocht, 1957, pl.19, fig.1; text-fig.7.  NOW Phoberocysta.  Originally Wetzeliella?, subsequently (and now) Phoberocysta, thirdly Muderongia.  Taxonomic junior synonym: Muderongia tomaszowensis, by implication in Monteil (1991b, p.477), who considered Wetzeliella? (as Phoberocysta) neocomica to be the junior name - however, this synonymy has not been generally followed.  Monteil, in an errata sheet accompanying Monteil (1991b), gave the citation: "Muderongia neocomica Gocht 1957 comb. nov. and emend." - however, an errata sheet does not constitute effective publication (I.C.B.N. Article 29.1).  Monteil (1991b, p.477) listed in synonymy with Muderongia tomaszowensis the following taxa: Wetzeliella? (as Phoberocysta) neocomica subsp. circulata, Wetzeliella? (as Phoberocysta) neocomica subsp. cruciformis and Wetzeliella? (as Phoberocysta) neocomica subsp. dedecosa; Lentin and Williams (1993, p.438) assumed that Monteil (1991b) intended to treat all three subspecies as taxonomic junior synonyms of the autonym Phoberocysta neocomica subsp. neocomica.  Age: Hauterivian.
