Litosphaeridium flosculus

"?flosculus" (Deflandre, 1937b, p.75, pl.15 [al. pl.12], figs.5–6) Davey and Williams, 1969, p.5.  Holotype: Deflandre, 1937b, pl.15 (al. pl.12), fig.5.  NOW Florentinia?.  Originally Hystrichosphaeridium, subsequently Baltisphaeridium (combination not validly published; Appendix A), thirdly Litosphaeridium?, fourthly Silicisphaera?, fifthly (and now) Florentinia?.  Questionable assignment: Davey and Williams (1969, p.5).  Taxonomic junior synonym: Eurysphaeridium fibratum (name not validly published), according to Slimani (2001a, p.192).  This combination, as a questionable assignment, was not validly published in Davey and Williams (1966b, p.83), since these authors did not fully reference the basionym.  N.I.A.  Age: Senonian.
