?pachycera Deflandre and Cookson, 1955, p.252, pl.4, fig.7.  Holotype: Deflandre and Cookson, 1955, pl.4, fig.7.  Originally Deflandrea, subsequently (and now) Deflandrea?.  Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.101).  The derivation of the epithet pachyceros was not stated in the protologue.  Since Principle 5 of the I.C.N. states that taxon names are to be treated as Latin and since compound epithets are conventionally treated as adjectives, the epithet should be rendered as "pachycera", in agreement with the feminine gender of the generic name (the neuter would be "pachycerum" and the masculine "pachycerus").  Age: Late Paleocene-Early Eocene.

Parent: Deflandrea
