"*silicorum" Deflandre, 1937b, p.95, pl.18 (al. pl.15), figs.8-13.  Holotype: Deflandre, 1937b, pl.18 (al. pl. 15), fig.8.  Taxonomic senior synonym: Ceratium (as Odontochitina) operculata, according to Deflandre and Cookson (1955, p.292).  The nomenclatural type of the genus Odontochitina remains the holotype of Odontochitina silicorum.  This name was not validly published in Deflandre (1935, p.234, caption to pl.9, figs.8-10), since that author did not designate a type, a requirement at that time under the I.C.Z.N.  N.I.A.  Age: Late Cretaceous.
