Taxonomy:

Citation: Scyphosphaera ventriosa Martini, 1968

Rank: Species

Variants:

S. deflandrei Muller, 1974 - very similar, elongate with low collar:
S. kamptneri Muller, 1974 - very similar, elongate with low collar:
S. pacifica Rade, 1975 - very similar, elongate with low collar:
S. abelei Rade, 1975 - opening wider and collar weaker:
S. australiensis Rade, 1975 - opening wider and collar weaker:
S. queenslandensis Rade, 1975 - opening wider and collar weaker:
S. gladstonensis Rade, 1975 - opening wider and collar weaker
S. rottiensis Jafar, 1975 - opening wider and collar weaker

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.
