Wetzeliella homomorpha Deflandre and Cookson, 1955, p.254, pl.5, fig.7; text-fig.19 (not text-figs.17–18 as indicated by Deflandre and Cookson, 1955, p.254). Emendation: Harland, 1979c, p.64, as Apectodinium homomorphum.
NOW Apectodinium. Originally Wetzeliella, subsequently Wetzeliella subgenus Apectodinium, thirdly (and now) Apectodinium. Taxonomic junior synonyms: Apectodinium folliculum and Hystrichosphaeridium (as Apectodinium) caiobense, both according to Williams et al. (1993, p.57). See also discussion under Apectodinium pastielsii.
Holotype: Deflandre and Cookon 1955, pl.5, fig.7
Locus typicus: Victoria, Australia
Stratum typicum: Early Eocene
Original description: Deflandre and Cookson, 1955, p. 254
Theca compressed, outline polygonal or more or less rounded, furnished with short, simple or bifurcate processes sometimes associated in small groups, generally more numerous at the edge of the theca. Membrane with a smooth surface. Dimensions: Diameter of shell (not counting appandages) 44-60 µm, processes 5-15 µm long.
