Planctonites nagyae Appendix A

"nagyae" Head, 1992, p.250,252.  Holotype: Nagy, 1969, pl.2, figs.3–4,6.  Name illegitimate — nomenclatural senior synonym: Deflandridium (now Planctonites) stellatum, which has the same type.  NOW Planctonites stellatus.  Originally Deflandridium stellatum, subsequently Planktonites nagyae (name illegitimate), thirdly (and now) Planctonites stellatus.  Substitute name for Deflandridium stellatum Nagy, 1969, p.294, pl.2, figs.1,3–4,6.  Head (1992, p.250) considered that transfer of Deflandridium stellatum to Planctonites would create an illegitimate junior homonym of Planktonites stellarius (Potonié, 1934) Krutzsch and Vanhoorne, 1977; however, the two epithets are not identical.  Age: late Miocene.
