Komewuia inequicornuta
Komewuia inequicornuta (Baltes, 1971 ex Stover and Evitt 1978) Chen, 1982
Originally Diconodinium (name not validly published), subsequently Pontiadinium, thirdly (and now) Komewuia.
Baltes, 1971, did not designate a holotype for this species. Stover and Evitt, 1978, designated the specimen illustrated in Baltes, 1971, pl.2, fig.2, as lectotype. Since this taxon was validated by Stover and Evitt, 1978, Lentin and Williams, 1989, accepted the specimen illustrated in Baltes, 1971, pl.2, fig.2, as the holotype.
Holotype: Baltes, 1971, pl.2, fig.2 (designated by Stover and Evitt, 1978, as Lectotype, accepted by Lentin and Williams, 1989, as holotype)
Locus typicus: Romania
Stratum typicum: Early Pliocene
Original description: Baltes 1971, p. 5: Diconodinium inequicornutum
Test fusiform with straight or slightly concave edges, without tabulation. Epitract, larger than hypotract, is terminated by a single, coneshaped, prominent horn, 10 to 15 Ám long. Antapical part is likewise provided with a horn which is, however, shorter, cylindrical, with a rounded tip. Median part of the test, in the cingulum zone, shows a circular thickening of the outer membrane. In the epitract, having a precingular position, an archeopyle-like opening is visible. External membrane is smooth or finely stippled, and shows some longitudinal thickenings.
