balcanica Balteş, 1971, p.6, pl.3, figs.3–7. Holotype: Balteş, 1971, pl.3, figs.3–7. Originally (and now) Thalassiphora, subsequently Disphaeria, thirdly Subathua (combination not validly published), fourthly Spiniferites. Taxonomic senior synonym: Pterospermopsis (as and now Thalassiphora) pelagica, according to Stover and Evitt (1978, p.194) — however, Sütő-Szentai (2000, p.162) retained Thalassiphora (as Spiniferites) balcanica. This species is herein retained in Thalassiphora as its morphology clearly accords with that genus rather than with Spiniferites. Age: early Pliocene.
Parent: Thalassiphora
