Necrobroomea pellifera

Necrobroomea pelliferum (Alberti, 1961) Below, 1990

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.
Below, 1990, transferred this species to Necrobroomea.
Lentin and Williams, 1993, questionably retained this species in Batioladinium.
