Variant: Blackites cf. B. dupuisii is regarded here as a variant of Blackites dupuisii.
I.e. It is a subjective junior synonym, but some workers many find it useful for some studies (e.g. experienced biostratigraphers working with abundant, well preserved material), but for most purposes differentiating it is not reccomended.

Taxonomy:
Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Blackites dupuisii): Spine tall, tapering, hollow; broad at its base but tapering and narrow in its upper half. Two or three spine-cycles are seen low on the spine, along with striated ornamentation. Spine height is usually 2-3x basal width.
This taxon: Like B. dupuisii but the spine tapers uniformly from its wide base.
