Epiplosphaera reticulata
Epiplosphaera reticulata (Valensi, 1953) Courtinat, 1989
Originally Palaeoperidinium, subsequently Dictyopyxidia, thirdly Ellipsoidictyum, fourthly (and now) Epiplosphaera. See also Dictyopyxis (combination illegitimate).
Tax. sr. synonym of Epiplosphaera bireticulata Klement, 1960, according to Courtinat, 1989. Poulsen, 1992, retained Epiplosphaera bireticulata as a separate species.
Holotype: Valensi, 1953, pl.2, figs.4-5
Age: Bajocian
Translation Courtinat, 1989: LPP
Courtinat, 1989, p.176
Remark: Palaeoperidinium reticulatum and Epiplosphaera bireticulata (type species of the genus Epiplosphaera) are placed in synonymy because the diagnosis given by Valensi (1953) for P. reticulatum is very plain and corresponds exactly to that of E. bireticulata.
