"delitiense" Ehrenberg, 1837b, pl.1, fig.6.  Emendation: Lucas-Clark, 1987, p.167, as Spongodinium delitiense.  Holotype: Ehrenberg, 1837b, pl.1, fig.6.  NOW Spongodinium.  Originally Peridinium, subsequently (and now) Spongodinium.  Of the two illustrations provided by Ehrenberg (1837b), only his pl.1, fig.6 shows a single specimen, which can thus be accepted as the type.  However, the validity/authorship of this name may need to be reconsidered as it appears that Ehrenberg (1837b) did not provide a description.  Age: Late Cretaceous.
