Spicadinium nenjiangense Appendix A

"nenjiangense" (Gao Ruiqi et al., 1992a, p.18,24, pl.3, figs.1–9; pl.4, figs.1–7) Schrank, 2001, p.204.  Holotype: Gao Ruiqi et al., 1992a, pl.3, fig.1.  Originally Cleistosphaeridium, subsequently Impletosphaeridium, thirdly Spicadinium.  Taxonomic senior synonym: Spicadinium akidoton, according to Mao Shaozhi et al. (1999, p.159).  This combination was also proposed by Masure in Fauconnier and Masure (2004, p.346).  In proposing this combination, neither Schrank nor Masure acknowledged the synonymy proposed by Mao Shaozhi et al. (1999); we therefore follow the latter treatment.  Age: Campanian.
