Pterocystidiopsis treptensis
Pterocystidiopsis treptensis Courtinat in Courtinat and Gaillard, 1980
Originally (and now) Pterocystidiopsis, subsequently Caddasphaera. Courtinat, 1989 transferred this species to Caddasphaera Fenton et al., 1980.
Caddasphaera is considered to be a tax. jr. synonym of Pareodinia Deflandre, 1947, by implication, according to Prauss, 1989, who transferred the type of Caddasphaera - Caddasphaera halosa (Filatoff, 1975) Fenton et al., 1980 - to Pareodinia. Therefore, we retain "treptensis" in Pterocystidiopsis.
Holotype: Courtinat and Gaillard, 1980, pl.6, fig.4
Age: Late Oxfordian
