?subsp. <B><I>minor</I></B> [[Wetzel, 1933b]]. p.45-46. pl.4, fig.26 ex [[Sarjeant, 1984c]], p.132.&nbsp; Holotype: [[Wetzel, 1933b]], pl.4, fig.26.&nbsp; Originally <I>[[Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma minor|Hystrichosphaera hirsuta]]</I> forma <I>[[Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma minor|minor]]</I> (name not validly published), subsequently <I>[[Baltisphaeridium hirsutum forma minus Appendix A|Baltisphaeridium hirsutum]]</I> forma <I>[[Baltisphaeridium hirsutum forma minus Appendix A|minus]]</I> (combination not validly published; Appendix A), thirdly <I>[[Operculodinium hirsutum subsp. minus|Operculodinium hirsutum]]</I> subsp. <I>[[Operculodinium hirsutum subsp. minus|minus]]</I> (combination not validly published), fourthly (and now) <I>Coronifera striolata</I> subsp. <I>minor</I>?.&nbsp; Questionable assignment: [[Sarjeant, 1984c|Sarjeant (1984c]], p.132).&nbsp; This taxon was first described and illustrated in [[Wetzel, 1932|Wetzel (1932]], caption to pl.3, fig.13 - p.144; pl.3, fig.13) but the name was not validly published since the species name <I>[[Xanthidium hirsutum Appendix A|Xanthidium hirsutum]]</I> [[Ehrenberg, 1837b]] was not validly published and additionally since the generic name <I>[[Hystrichosphaera]]</I> [[Wetzel, 1933b]] was not validly published at that time.&nbsp; [[Sarjeant, 1984c|Sarjeant (1984c]], p.132) validly published this name, as <I>Coronifera striolata</I> subsp. <I>minor</I> and noted that the attribution was "emphatically provisional".&nbsp; This is possibly a taxonomic synonym of <I>[[Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma minor|Hystrichosphaera hirsuta]]</I> forma <I>[[Hystrichosphaera hirsuta forma minor|minor]]</I> (name not validly published), which has a different holotype.&nbsp; Age: Late Cretaceous.
