Imbatodinium micropodum

Imbatiodinium micropodum (Eisenack and Cookson, 1960) Dörhöfer and Davies, 1980

Now Batioladinium. Originally Broomea, subsequently (and now) Batioladinium, thirdly Necrobroomea, fourthly Imbatodinium.
Tax. sr. synonym of Imbatodinium fractum Mehrotra and Sarjeant, 1984, according to Below, 1990.
Tax. sr. synonym of Batioladinium? pelliferum (Alberti, 1961) Brideaux, 1975, according to Wiggins, 1975. Dörhöfer and Davies, 1980, retained Batioladinium? pelliferum as a separate species.
Below, 1990, stated that Batioladinium (as Necrobroomea) micropodum is a tax. sr. synonym of Batioladinium (as Necrobroomea) jaegeri (Alberti, 1961) Brideaux, 1975, according to Davey, 1974. Davey, 1974, did not include the holotype of Batioladinium jaegeri in his synonymy listing for Batioladinium (as "Broomea") micropodum.
Below, 1990, emended the diagnosis of Batioladinium (as Necrobroomea) micropodum.
