Palaeohystrichophora pellifera Cookson and Eisenack, 1958, p.38, pl.10, fig.11. Emendation: Morgan, 1977, p.128, as Diconodinium pelliferum.
Now Diconodinium. Originally Palaeohystrichophora, subsequently (and now) Diconodinium.
Holotype: Cookson and Eisenack, 1958, pl.10, fig.11; Morgan, 1977, pl.1, figs.7a-b
Locus typicus: Carnavron Basin, W Australia
Stratum typicum: Albian
Original description: Cookson and Eisenack, 1958, p. 39
The theca is broadly fusiform and divided unequally by the transverse girdle; the "epitheca" is terminated by a shortly bifid process, the "hypotheca" by a short pointed process. The surface is densely covered with spines c.1-2.5 µm long.
Dimensions: Type - 85 x 59 µm; the "Tertiary" specimen 122 x 56 µm
