Bosedinia laevigata ssp. minor
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Bosedinia laevigata subsp minor (He Chengquan, 1991, p.173, pl.6, fig.19) He Chengquan et al., 2009, p.459. Holotype: He
Chengquan, 1991, pl.6, fig.19. Originally Bosedinia minor, subsequently (and now) Bosedinia laevigata
subsp. minor. Taxonomic junior synonym: Bosedinia laevigata var. minuta, according to He Chengquan et
al. (2009, p.459). Although Bosedinia laevigata var. minuta was the first infraspecific taxon in Bosedinia
laevigata, it was at variety rather than subspecific rank. At subspecific rank, the epithet minor has priority
Age: Early Eocene.
