Coronifera striolata subsp. varians

?subsp. varians Wetzel, 1933b, p.47–48, pl.4, figs.27–29 ex Sarjeant, 1984c, p.132.  Holotype not specified.  Lectotype: Wetzel, 1933b, fig.29; designated by Lentin and Williams (1989, p.78).  Originally Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma varians (name not validly published), subsequently Baltisphaeridium hirsutum forma varians (combination not validly published; Appendix A), thirdly Operculodinium hirsutum subsp. varians (combination not validly published), fourthly (and now) Coronifera striolata? subsp. varians.  Questionable assignment: Sarjeant (1984c, p.132).  The name Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma varians was not validly published in Wetzel (1933b), since the species name Hystrichosphaera hirsuta is not validly published.  This is possibly a taxonomic synonym of Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma varians (name not validly published), which has a different holotype.  Age: Late Cretaceous.
