Areoligera tenuicapillata ssp. pinopollina
Areoligera tenuicapillata subsp. pinopollina, (O. Wetzel, 1933), Lentin and Williams, 1973
Originally Hystrichosphaera tenuicapillata forma pinopollina, subsequently (and now) Areoligera tenuicapillata subsp. pinopollina.
Transfer of the forma to Areoligera was not effected by Lejeune-Carpentier, 1938, who speculated that its morphology, as reflected in the name which indicates a similarity to coniferous pollen, removed it from Areoligera.
Lentin and Williams, 1989, believed it may be a specimen of Florentinia? flosculus (Deflandre, 1937) Lentin and Williams, 1981, in which only two large processes are preserved.
Holotype: O. Wetzel, 1933, pl.4, fig.22
Age: Senonian
