Originally Hystrichosphaeridium, subsequently Baltisphaeridium (Appendix A), thirdly Cleistosphaeridium, fourthly Impletosphaeridium, fifthly (and now) Downiesphaeridium. Taxonomic junior synonym: Cleistosphaeridium (as Downiesphaeridium) polyacanthum, according to Masure in Fauconnier and Masure (2004, p.196).
