Stephanocha


Classification: ntax_non_cocco -> Silicoflagellates -> Stephanocha
Sister taxa: Dictyocha, Octactis, Stephanocha

Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)
Stephanocha speculum
6-sided with robust apical ring

Taxonomy:

Citation: Stephanocha Jordan & McCartney 2015
Rank: Genus
Synonyms: Distephanus this name has been widely used but it is a homonym of a plant genus and so unavailable. Jordan & McCartney (2015) argue that the distinction of this group from Dictyocha is of real value and so proposed the alternative name, for both living and fossil taxa.

Yes, Stephanocha rotunda (Stöhr) K.McCartney & R.W.Jordan 2015 -recorded from Creataceous to recent (basionym: Distephanus rotundus Stöhr 1880)

Stephanocha speculum var. ornamentum (Ehrenberg) K.McCartney & R.W.Jordan in Jordan & McCartney 2015 -records from early Eocene to recent (basionym Dictyocha ornamentum Ehrenberg 1844, syn. Distephanus ornamentum (Ehrenberg) Haeckel 1887).

This was published in Phytotaxa 201(3):177-187, but I don't have it, sorry. I saw it in the algaebase that some of mine species are changed to Stephanocha, but many more are not accepted yet. I can bring mine literature to 16.INA. :)

Its first occurrence: Upper Cretaceous (Desikachary & Prema, 1996).

Thanks - the coverage of silicoflagellates here is minimal, just a list of the extant species. Do you know which species was recoded from the Late Cretaceous and if it would be included in modern Stephanoca?
