Taxonomy:

Citation: SY molischii gp Young et al., 2003

Rank: species group

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Syracosphaera): Coccospheres usually dithecate. Exothecal coccoliths (XCs) highly variable. Endothecal coccoliths are muroliths with 1, 2 or 3 flanges, the forms with 2 flanges are often placolith-like.
This taxon: BCs placolith-like (i.e. with proximal and distal flanges), often with ridges and irregular central area calcification, no spines. XCs variable.
