Colomisphaera minutissima

*minutissima (Colom, 1935, p.12, pl.2, fig.8; text-fig.4a [four specimens]) Nowak, 1968, p.304.  Holotype not designated.  Originally Fibroaesphaerae (generic name not validly published; Appendix A), subsequently Stomiosphaera, thirdly (and now) Colomisphaera, fourthly Schizosphaerella.  Fensome and Williams (2004) considered this name to be not validly published because a type was not designated.  However, Elbrächter et al. (2008, p.1298) implied that it can be considered validly published as it was proposed under the I.C.Z.N.  Elbrächter et al. (2008, p.1299) effectively retained this species in Colomisphaera.  Age: Late Early Jurassic.

Parent: Colomisphaera
