Taxonomy:

Citation: Scyphosphaera ventriosa Martini, 1968
taxonomic rank: Species
Variants:
Taxonomic discussion: The holotype specimen of S. ventriosa is rather broader than most specimens but clearly has the weak collar which is the main criterion for grouping these forms, and the name has priority over the other variants included here.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Scyphosphaera): Coccospheres with Pontosphaera-like body coccoliths and equatorial coccoliths with rims elevated into vase-like structures (lopadoliths).
This taxon: Similar to S. apsteinii but with low collar around opening.
