Imbatodinium pelliferum

Batioladinium? pelliferum (Alberti, 1961) D÷rh÷fer and Davies, 1980

Now Batioladinium?. Originally Broomea, subsequently (and now) Batioladinium?, thirdly Imbatodinium, fourthly Necrobroomea.
Tax. jr. synonym of Batioladinium micropodum (Eisenack and Cookson, 1960) Brideaux, 1975, according to Wiggins, 1975. D÷rh÷fer and Davies, 1980, retained Batioladinium? pelliferum as a separate species.
Below, 1990, suggested that Batioladinium? (as Necrobroomea) exiguum (Alberti, 1961) Brideaux, 1975, may be simply a smooth variant of this species.

B. pellifera differs from B. jaegeri in the well rounded antapex and the fur-like ornamentation of the shell.
