Cometodinium whitei
whitei (Deflandre and Courteville, 1939, p.103, pl.3, figs.5–6) Stover and Evitt, 1978, p.227. Emendation: Monteil, 1991a, p.444, as Cometodinium whitei. Holotype: Deflandre and Courteville, 1939, pl.3, fig.5, lost according to Monteil (1991a, p.439). Neotype: Monteil, 1991a, pl.2, figs.1a–c; pl.3, fig.9, designated by Monteil (1991a, p.444); Fauconnier and Masure, 2004, pl.16, figs.7–8. Originally Hystrichosphaeridium, subsequently Baltisphaeridium (Appendix A), thirdly Impletosphaeridium, fourthly Comasphaeridium (Appendix A), fifthly Cometodinium?, sixthly (and now) Cometodinium. Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.227); however, Monteil (1991a, 444) assigned the species to Cometodinium without question. Age: Senonian.
