Citation: Blackites morionum (Deflandre in Deflandre & Fert,1954) Varol, 1989Taxonomic rank: speciesBasionym: Calyptrolithus morionum Deflandre in Deflandre & Fert,1954
Distinguishing features: Parent taxon (B. morionum group): Spine low, globular, height<2x width This taxon: Spine relatively short, wide, hollow sacculiform; may have a small terminal papilla. The base is relatively broad, and typically the spine height and basal width are similar. The spine broadens slightly before tapering to a point and is always slightly narrower than the base.
Lith size: 4->8µm; Data source notes: lith size (spine height) from OD & illustrated specimens
