Kisselevia major

"major" Vozzhennikova, 1967, p.104-105.  Holotype: Vozzhennikova, 1960, pl.3, fig.1, lost according to Lentin and Vozzhennikova (1989, p.215-216).  NOW Rhombodinium? vozzhennikovae.  Originally Kisselevia major, subsequently (and now) Rhombodinium? vozzhennikovae.  Fensome and Williams (2004, p.382) did not follow Lentin and Vozzhennikova (1989) in considering this name to be not validly published.  Vozzhennikova (1967) provided a description and designated a holotype from Vozzhennikova (1960): that the holotype is lost has no bearing on the validity of the name.  Lentin and Vozzhennikova (1989) noted that no potential lectotype is available.  This name was not valdily published in Vozzhennikova (1963, fig.15) since that author did not provide a description.  Age: Eocene.
