Cleistosphaeridium danicum

"?danicum" (Wetzel, 1952, p.396-397, pl.A, figs.5-6; text-fig.8) Davey et al., 1969, p.15.  Emendation: Sarjeant, 1984c, p.129-130, as Achomosphaera danica.  Holotype: Wetzel, 1952, pl.A, fig.6; Dietz et al., 1999, text-fig.6b.  NOW Achomosphaera.  Originally Areoligera, subsequently Baltisphaeridium (Appendix A), thirdly Hystrichosphaeridium, fourthly Cleistosphaeridium?, fifthly (and now) Achomosphaera.  Questionable assignment: Davey et al. (1969, p.15).  Taxonomic senior synonym: Areoligera senonensis, according to Lejeune-Carpentier and Sarjeant (1981, p.15) - however, Sarjeant (1984c, p.130) retained Cleistosphaeridium (as Achomosphaera) danicum.  This combination was not validly published in Davey et al. (1966, p.170), since those authors did not fully reference the basionym.  Age: Paleocene.
