Hystrichosphaeridium cruciatum
From dinoflaj2
"?cruciatum" Wetzel, 1933b, p.48-49, pl.4, fig.30 ex Lejeune-Carpentier, 1940, p.B222. Emendation: Lejeune-Carpentier and Sarjeant, 1981, p.22-23, as Veryhachium cruciatum. Holotype: Wetzel, 1933b, pl.4, fig.30. NOW Multiplicisphaeridium? (Appendix A). Originally Hystrichosphaera (name not validly published), subsequently Hystrichosphaeridium, thirdly Hystrichosphaeridium?, fourthly Veryhachium (Appendix A), fifthly (and now) Multiplicisphaeridium? (Appendix A). Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.56) as a problematic species. The name Hystrichosphaera cruciata was not validly published in Wetzel (1933b), since the generic name Hystrichosphaera was not validly published until 1937. Age: Late Cretaceous.
Parent: Hystrichosphaeridium
