Spiniferites ramosus subsp. aquilus

subsp. aquilus Pearce, 2010, p.56, pl.7, figs.7–12.  Holotype: Pearce, 2010, pl.7, figs.7–12.  Pearce (2010, p.56) gave the heading for this taxon as "Spiniferites ramosus aquilus sp. nov." and began the diagnosis with "A species of Spiniferites ...".  It is clear form the name, however, that he intended the taxon to be a subspecies, and so we consider the incorrect citation of rank as a typographic error and consider Spiniferites ramosus subsp. aquilus to be validly published in Pearce (2011).  Age: early Cenomanian–late Campanian.

Parent: Spiniferites ramosus
