Original descriptions of taxa. For coccolithophores, and many calcispheres, these are pages from the Farinacci & Howe Catalog of Calcareous Nannofossils. In other cases (e.g. non-calcifying haptophytes) the data is directly compiled on this site. The "Catalogue of Calcareous Nannofossils" was originally compiled by Prof A. Farinacci 1969-1989, since 2000 it has been updated and extended by Richard Howe - see The Farinacci and Howe Catalog - an Introduction.

Editors' Notes
The images of the body coccoliths of the holotype unambiguosly show that this was S. nodosa, but the more exothecal coccoliths caused confusion with S. anthos and in the literature many specimens identified as S. variabilis were S. anthos.
