neista Duxbury, 1980, p.112-113, pl.2, figs.8-9; text-fig.5.  Holotype: Duxbury, 1980, pl.2, figs.8-9; text-fig.5; Pourtoy, 1988, pl.4, figs.4-5,7-9.  Originally (and now) Aprobolocysta, subsequently NecrobroomeaLentin and Williams (1993, p.31) retained this species in AprobolocystaDuxbury (1980) cited the epithet as "neistosa" but indicated that it was based on the Greek adjective "neistos".  Since Principle 5 of the I.C.B.N. states that taxon names are to be treated as Latin, this epithet should be rendered as "neista", in agreement with the feminine gender of the generic name ("neistum" would be the neuter form and "neistus" the masculine form).  Age: Barremian.
