Neofentonia Appendix A

"NEOFENTONIA" Özdikmen, 2009, p.234. Acritarch genus. Name illegitimate - nomenclatural senior synonym: Fentonia (Appendix A), which has the same type.  Taxonomic senior synonym: Limbicysta (Appendix A), which is now considered to be the senior synonym of Fentonia.  Özdikmen (2009, p.234) considered Fentonia Bailey and Hogg, 1995 to be illegitimate because it is a junior homonym of Fentonia Butler, 1881; however, Fentonia Butler, 1881 is an animal and under the I.C.N. it does not pre-empt Fentonia Bailey and Hogg.  In proposing Neofentonia, in the header for the relevant section Özdikmen (2009) misspelled the generic name as "Noefentonia", clearly intending it to be Neofentonia.  Type: Smelror, 1987, fig.4G, as Parvocysta bjaerkei.
