Membranilarnacia delicata
Membranilarnacia delicata Kar, 1979
Taxonomic senior synonym: Hystrichosphaeridium (as and now Polysphaeridium) zoharyi, according to Jain and Garg (1991, p.82).
Taxonomic senior synonym: Hystrichosphaeridium (as Operculodinium) centrocarpum, according to Jain (1980, p.140) - however, Membranilarnacia delicata is now considered a taxonomic junior synonym of Hystrichosphaeridium (now Polysphaeridium) zoharyi.
According to Jain and Garg, 1991, Jain, 1980, correctly identified the specimen cited as the holotype in the text of Kar, 1979, as a specimen of Operculodinium centrocarpum. Kar, 1979, failed to illustrate that particular specimen. The holotype of Membranilarnacia delicata, Kar, 1979, is assignable to Polysphaeridium zoharyi, according to Jain and Garg, 1991.
Holotype: Kar, 1979, pl.4, fig.70
