<B><I>QUINQUECUSPIS</I></B> [[Harland, 1977b]], p.106.&nbsp; Emendation: [[Harland, 1982]], p.396-397, as <I>Protoperidinium</I> subgenus <I>[[Protoperidinium subgenus Protoperidinium Appendix B|Protoperidinium]]</I> section <I>Quinquecuspis</I> (name not validly published).&nbsp; Originally (and now) <I>Quinquecuspis</I>, subsequently <I>Protoperidinium</I> subgenus <I>[[Protoperidinium subgenus Protoperidinium Appendix B|Protoperidinium]]</I> section <I>Quinquecuspis</I> (name not validly published).&nbsp; Taxonomic junior synonym: <I>[[Lejeunecysta]]</I>, by implication in [[Matsuoka, 1987|Matsuoka (1987]], p.57), who incorrectly considered <I>[[Lejeunecysta]]</I> to be the senior name - however, this synonymy has not been generally followed.&nbsp; [[Harland, 1982|Harland (1982]], p.396-397) considered <I>Quinquecuspis</I> [[Harland, 1977b]] to be not validly published, since it lacked a Latin diagnosis.&nbsp; As noted by [[Fensome et al., 1991|Fensome et al. (1991]], p.434), this was not necessary since the cysts are considered fossil and a Latin diagnosis is not required.&nbsp; [[Head, 1993|Head (1993]], p.31) contended that <I>Quinquecuspis</I> was not validly published in [[Harland, 1977b|Harland (1977b]]) because as its type he designated a then unpublished species name, <I>[[Trinovantedinium concretum]]</I> [[Reid, 1977]].&nbsp; Head believed that the paper by [[Reid, 1977|Reid (1977]]) was not published until 1978.&nbsp; However, although the journal in which Reid's paper appeared did indeed not come out until 1978, preprints of Reid's paper did appear in 1977 (P.C. Reid, personal communication, 1997).&nbsp; Accordingly <I>Quinquecuspis</I> was validly published in [[Harland, 1977b|Harland (1977b]]).&nbsp; Type: [[Reid, 1977]], pl.1, figs.9-11, as <I>[[Trinovantedinium concretum]]</I>.
