Necrobroomea jaegeri

Necrobroomea jaegeri (Alberti, 1961) Wiggins, 1975; emend. Below, 1990

Now Batioladinium. Originally Broomea, subsequently (and now) Batioladinium, thirdly Necrobroomea, fourthly Imbatodinium.
Below, 1990, stated that Batioladinium (as Necrobroomea) micropodum (Eisenack and Cookson, 1960) Brideaux, 1975, is a tax. sr. synonym of Batioladinium (as Necrobroomea) jaegeri, according to Davey, 1974.
Davey, 1974, did not include the holotype of Batioladinium jaegeri in his synonymy listing for Batioladinium (as Broomea) micropodum.
Tax. sr. synonym of Pseudoceratium gochtii Pocock, 1962, according to C. Singh, 1971.
Below, 1990, suggested that Batioladinium? (as Necrobroomea) gochtii (Alberti, 1961) Lentin and Williams, 1977, may be only a more distinctly granulate variant of this species.
Below, 1990, retained this species in Necrobroomea.
Lentin and Williams, 1993, retained this species in Batioladinium.
