To add to the confusion it is also a primary junior homonym of Rotalipora cushmani var. evoluta Sigal, 1948 and should be renamed. (see please previous comment)

a mess indeed and I think you are right, this needs a new name, i will forward to Brian. Jeremy
Citation: Thalmanninella evoluta (Petrizzo & Huber, 2006)?
The 'original unavailable name' is Rotalipora praebalernaensis forma evoluta Sigal, 1969 it is not available under ICZN rules.
See ICZN art. 45.5. and following
If Petrizzo and Huber (2006) were the first to use Rotalipora evoluta (p. 181), they are deemed to be the authors with the date 2006.
ref.: Biostratigraphy and Taxonomy of Late Albian Planktonic Foraminifera from ODP Leg 171B (Western North Atlantic Ocean)
That certainly looks correct, I will have to add that to the list of taxonomic issues for Brian Huber to consider .
thanks Jeremy
