Hystrichosphaeropsis pontiana

pontiana (Balteş, 1969, p.35–36, pl.3, fig.15 ex Lentin and Williams, 1973, p.123) Stover and Evitt, 1978, p.164.  Holotype: Balteş, 1969, pl.3, fig.15, designated by Lentin and Williams (1973, p.123).  Originally Scriniodinium, subsequently (and now) Hystrichosphaeropsis.  The name Scriniodinium pontianum was not validly published in Balteş (1969, p.35), since that author considered the name to be a provisional designation.  Age: early Pliocene.

Parent: Hystrichosphaeropsis
