Beyrichodinium hystrix

hystrix Below, 1990, p.70–71, pl.17, figs.1–5.  Holotype: Below, 1990, pl.17, figs.1–5.  Contrary to the opinion of Lentin and Williams (1993, p.61), we consider this name to be validly published.  Below (1987a, p.6) stated that, unless otherwise indicated, all the material is in his personal collection.  Since Below (1987a, 1987b, 1990) are parts I to III of a single study, we agree with J. Jansonius (personal communication) that Below's (1987a) repository statement refers to all three publications, fulfilling the requirement of I.C.N. Article 40.7 (see also the discussion on Article 40.7 in the Introduction).  Age: early Hauterivian.

Parent: Beyrichodinium
