Liesbergia liesbergensis

Liesbargia liesbergensis Berger, 1986

Holotype: Berger, 1986, figs.3(pars),5, nos.1-4
Locus typicus: Liesberg Dorf, Germany
Stratum typicum: Early Oxfordian

Original diagnosis: Berger, 1986, p. 341
Cysts relatively large and bearing a precingular (P 3"" or 2P 3""+4"") archeopyle. The ornamentation consists of very sparse spines forming sometimes a small reticulation on the plate surface. The parasutures are underlined by numerous spines which are generally connected by trabeculae. The paratabulation is very well expressed (including the sulcal and cingular area) and is standard gonyaulacoid. An apical horn is formed by elongate anastomosing fibres.

Affinities:
Berger, 1986, p. 341-342: This species is very close to Liesbergia scarburghensis from which it can be distinguished by its less dense ornamentation and a very well paratabulation; comparing with Diacanthum filapicatum, L. liesbergensis is different by its archeopyle, its apical structure and especially the apical horn.
