Wetzeliella neocomica forma cruciformis
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Wetzeliella neoconica forma cruciformis Gocht, 1957
Originally Wetzeliella? neocomica forma cruciformis, subsequently Phoberocysta neocomica ssp. cruciformis.
The species Wetzeliella? (now Muderongia) neocomica Gocht, 1957 and the forma Wetzeliella? neocomica forma cruciformis Gocht, 1957, were listed in synonymy under Muderongia tomaszowensis Alberti, 1961, by Monteil, 1991. Wetzeliella? neocomica is the tax. sr. synonym of Muderongia tomaszowensis. Lentin and Williams, 1993, assumed that it was Monteil"s intention treat Wetzeliella? neocomica forma cruciformis as a tax. jr. synonym of the autonym of Wetzeliella? neocomica.
This forma is validly published since it was not necessary to designate a holotype at the time of publication.
Holotype: not designated
Lectotype: Gocht, 1957, pl.20, fig.3 (designated by Lentin and Williams, 1989)
Age: Hauterivian

Original description (Gocht, 1957) Translation: pkb 2024
Carapace elongated, roughly diamond-shaped, with strong polar horns, usually of different lengths. Side horns are more compact, one of them often leans forward or recedes. Longitudinal axis often bent so that the horns at the poles tilt in the direction in which the larger side horn also points. Lobes between the horns are subordinately developed, sometimes only in the form of narrow extensions. Inner body sometimes indicated. A safe orientation cannot yet be carried out. The specimen in Fig. 10 appears to have a weak transverse and longitudinal structure, which is further illustrated by projections and perhaps suggests a system of furrows. Dimensions of this specimen: length 112 µ, width 76 µ, ? Apical horn 32µ, ? Antapical horn 20 µ, large lateral horn 15 µ. Other pieces measure 99 to 119 µ long, 72 to 74 µ wide. Occurrence: 1 specimen in sample 7, 6 specimens in sample 9. Two further finds from sample 9 are likely to be derived from our form. - An individual find may also be placed in a close relationship, which, with a similar outline, has on the surface of one side two strong toothed ridges running parallel between the poles, which appear to be connected in the middle by a thin transverse strand. The side horns curve backwards from this side.
