Bonetocardiella conoidea
*conoidea (Bonet, 1956, p.454-456, pl.22, figs.1[part]-2; pl.27, fig.1[part]) Dufour, 1968, p.1948. Holotype: not designated. Originally Stomiosphaera, subsequently (and now) Bonetocardiella, thirdly Conejoconus (generic name illegitimate). Taxonomic junior synonym: Stomiosphaera cardiiformis, according to Andri (1972, p.15) - however that species was later considered to be a taxonomic junior synonym of Leptodermella (now Bonetocardiella) maestrichtiensis. Fensome and Williams (2004) indicated that designation of a holotype was a requirement under the I.C.Z.N. at the time that Bonet (1956) proposed this name; however, Elbrächter et al. (2008, p.1289) implied that it can be considered validly published as the name was proposed under the I.C.Z.N. Elbrächter et al. (2008, p.1289) cited "fig. 4" as the type of Bonetocardiella, but it is not clear to which reference this pertained to. Dufour did not reference the basionym when proposing this combination, but this was not a requirement since he was using zoological nomenclature. Age: mid Cretaceous.
