Dictyotidium hagenfeldtii Molinari & Guiry , nom. nov.

Replaced name: Dictyotidium microreticulatum Hagenfeldt , Stockholm Contributions in Geology 41: 198, 1989 (Chlorophyta, Pterosphaeridiaceae ), nom. illeg., non Dictyotidium microreticulatum Z.Song, C.He, Z.Qian, Z.Pan, G.Zheng & Y.Zheng (1978: 111) , Pterosphaeridiaceae .

Notes: The species is renamed in honour of the original author, Swedish palaeontologist Stefan E. Hagenfeldt (Swedish Museum of Natural Histroy, Stockholm). Song & al. (1978) used the collective name “Jiabo” as the authority of the new taxa proposed in their work, as pointed out by Sun (1994), who corrected the citations replacing the pseudonym with “Song & al.” The referred book, which title translates as “On the Paleogene dinoflagellates and acritarchs from the coastal region of Bohai”, has been erroneously credited to “Jiabo” in palynological literature, and even some species have been renamed with the epithet “ jiaboi ” after the supposed author (cf. Lentin & Williams 1989, Fensome & al. 1990).
