Spiniferites ramosus ssp. multiplicatus (Rossignol, 1964) Lentin and Williams, 1973
Originally Hystrichosphaera furcata var. multiplicata, subsequently Spiniferites ramosus ssp. multiplicatus. See also Hystrichosphaera ramosa var. multiplicata (combination not validly published).
Taxonomic senior synonym (at specific rank): Hystrichosphaera (as Spiniferites) hyperacantha, according to Matsuoka (1985a, p.35) — however, De Vernal et al., 1992, questioned this synonymy and Londeix et al. (2009, p.66) retained the latter taxon.
