Diconodinium vitricorne

vitricorne Roncaglia et al., 1999, p.303,305, fig.16, nos.1-5.  Holotype: Roncaglia et al., 1999, fig.16, nos.1-2.  Roncaglia et al. cited the epithet as "vitricornu", a compound of two Latin nouns, "vitrum" and "cornu".  Since, in botanical tradition (Nicolson, 1986), compound epithets generally are made to agree with the gender of the generic name, we cite the specific epithet as "vitricorne".  Age: Campanian.

Parent: Diconodinium
