Palaecysta crispabaculata
crispabaculata Chen, 2013, p.290–291, pl.11, figs.124–130; pl.12, figs.135–147; text-fig.9, nos.1–2, text-fig.10, nos.27–28, text-fig.11, nos.53–55. Holotype: Chen, 2013, pl.11, fig.124. The validity of this species name may be in question. Chen (2013) provided no separate entry for the species but provided two separate entries for "Paleacysta crispabaculata sp. nov. subsp. crispa (Chen, 2013, p.290–291) and "Paleacysta crispabaculata subsp. delicata" (Chen, 2013, p.291). In the remarks to the former he refers to "this species" and in remarks to the latter he makes comparison with "P. crispabaculata" rather than with the autonym (i.e. the other subspecies). Here we consider the species Paleacysts crispabaculata to be validly published with the protologue circumscribing the text and illustrations for the two subspecies. On this basis, Chen's Palaecysta crispabaculata subsp. crispa must be called Palaecysta crispabaculata subsp. crispabaculata as the autonym. Age: early Hauterivian.
