Galea lychnea Maier, 1959
Originally Galea (generic name illegitimate), subsequently Baltisphaeridium (acritarch), thirdly Areoligera.
Taxonomic senior synonym: Hystrichosphaeridium (as Achomosphaera) alcicornu, according to Sarjeant (1983, p.100–101).
Following I.C.N. Article 55.1, the species name Galea lychnea is validly published even though the generic name Galea is illegitimate.
Holotype: Maier, 1959, pl.30, fig.6.
Locus typicus: Twistringen, Reinbeck-Dingden, Holstein, Germany
Stratum typicum: Miocene
Translation Maier, 1959: LPP
Original diagnosis: Maier, 1959, p.310
A species of the genus Galea with the following characteristics: Archaeopyle suture marked by a simple sutural membrane and special processes.
Remarks: Capsule membrane smooth. Opening surrounded by a simple membranuous rigde and thin, short, furcate processes. Processes widenend at the basees, at the ends deeply furcate, shape similar to flowers of Lychnis flos cuculi.
Dimensions: Length 118(79) µm, opening 48 µm (1 specimen).
