Conejoconus

"CONEJOCONUS" Knauer, 1970, p.89.  Name illegimate - nomenclatural senior synonym: Bonetocardiella, which has the same type (see also Villain (1975, p.196)).  Calcareous dinoflagellate genus (see Elbrächter et al., 2008, p.1298, who noted that the cyst wall is pithonelloid and so dinoflagellate affinity is questionable).  Fensome and Williams (2004) considered this genus to be not validly published because a type was not designated.  However, Elbrächter et al. (2008, p.1298) implied that this generic name can be considered validly published as it was proposed under the I.C.Z.N.  Type: not designated; "type species" - Stomiosphaera conoidea.
