Deflandrea eocenica
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Deflandrea eocenica Balteş, 1969, p.34, pl.5, figs.8–9 ex Lentin and Williams, 1973, p.40. Holotype: Balteş, 1969, pl.5, fig.9,
designated by Lentin and Williams (1973, p.40). This name was not validly published in Balteş (1969, p.34), since
that author considered the name to be provisional. Age: Early Eocene.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description: [Baltes, 1969] (translated from French):
Deflandrea eocenica (provisional determination)
(PI. V, figs. 8, 9)
Description: Cyst of generally hexagonal shape with rounded ends.
Total length 88-92 microns. Spherical central capsule, well-demarcated, without visible cingulum. Slightly demarcated apical horn. Antapical horns, rounded or even joined.
Periphragm transparent, finely granulated. Intercalary archaeopyle trapezoidal, elongated.
Some of our specimens can be compared with Deflandrea cretacea COOKSON, without, however, fully displaying its characteristics. Moderate frequency.
Age and locality: Lower Eocene clays, Moezic Platform, Craiova area.

G.L. Williams short notes on species, Mesozoic-Cenozoic dinocyst course, Urbino, Italy, May 17-22, 1999 - LPP VIEWER CD-ROM 99.5.
Deflandrea eocenica Baltes 1969 ex Lentin and Williams, 1973, has a hexagonal shape with rounded corners Central body is spherical. Apical horn slightly developed. Antapical horns rounded or even united. Periphragm clear, finely granular. Archeopyle intercalary elongate. Some specimens can be compared with Deflandrea cretacea with which the species seems to grade. Length is 88-92 µm.
