?varmae Lentin and Williams, 1973, p.131.  Emendation: Matsuoka and Bujak, 1988, p.84-84, as Spiniferites? varmae.  Holotype: Varma and Dangwal, 1964, pl.2, figs.7-8.  Originally Hystrichosphaera pseudofurcata, subsequently Spiniferites varmae, thirdly (and now) Spiniferites varmae?.  Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.191) as a problematic species.  Substitute name for Hystrichosphaera pseudofurcata Varma and Dangwal, 1964, p.66, pl.2, figs.7-8; the name Spiniferites pseudofurcatus is preoccupied.  Age: Eocene-Oligocene.
