Bonetocardiella cardiiformis

"cardiiformis" (Ayala Castañares and Seigle, 1962, p.16-17, pl.1, figs.1-5,7-9) Dufour, 1968, p.1948.  Holotype: information not available.  Originally Stomiosphaera, subsequently Bonetocardiella, thirdly Conejoconus (generic name illegitimate).  Taxonomic senior synonym: Leptodermella maestrichtiensis (Appendix A), according to Villain (1975, p.198).  Taxonomic junior synonym: Bonetocardiella conoidea, according to Andri (1972, p.15) - however, the latter species has generally been retained as the type of Bonetocardiella.  Dufour did not reference the basionym when proposing this combination, but this was not a requirement since he was using zoological nomenclature.  Fensome and Williams (2004) considered this name to be not validly published on the incorrect basis that the generic name is not validly published.  Age: information not available.
