"ceratioides" (Deflandre, 1937b, p.66-67, pl.12 [al. pl.9], figs.7-8) Clarke and Verdier, 1967, p.60.  Holotype: Deflandre, 1937b, pl.12 (al. pl.9), figs.7-8; Fensome et al., 1991, fig.1 - p.601; fig.1 - p.605.  NOW Xenascus.  Originally Hystrichosphaera, subsequently Pseudoceratium, thirdly Spiniferites, fourthly Phoberocysta, fifthly (and now) Xenascus.  Taxonomic junior synonyms: Endoceratium (now Xenascus) perforatum, according to Davey and Verdier (1971, p.27) - however, Yun Hyesu (1981, p.62) retained Endoceratium (as Xenascus) perforatum; Xenascus australensis, according to Davey and Verdier (1971, p.26) - however, Lentin and Williams (1985, p.374) retained Xenascus australensis; Odontochitina blastema, according to Davey and Verdier (1971, p.27) - however, Stover and Helby (1987a, p.128) retained Odontochitina (as Xenascus) blastema.  This combination was not validly published in Deflandre (1966, p.6), since that author did not fully reference the basionym.  Age: Senonian.
