Pentadinium membranaceum (Eisenack, 1965) Stover and Evitt, 1978
Originally Planinosphaeridium, subsequently (and now) Pentadinium.
Taxonomic junior synonym: Ataxiodinium choane, according to Dale (1976, p.45; footnote to table II) — however, Edwards and Andrle (1992, p.265) retained Ataxiodinium choane
Holotype: Eisenack, 1965, pl.14, fig.4; text-fig.1; Jan du Chêne et al., 1986, pl.80, figs.4-7
Locus typicus: NW Germany
Stratum typicum: Late Eocene-Early Oligocene
Original diagnosis: Eisenack, 1965, p.151: Planinosphaeridium membranaceum
Central body nearly sphaeroidal, surrounded by an irregular membrane. The shell is fine to coarsely granulate or vermiculate. Type consists of a large, trapezoidal pylome with rounded corners.
Dimensions:
Type: central body 54x56 µm, allover 70-82 µm, pylome 30x32 µm.
