Publication
Flosculosphaera calceolariopsis gen. et sp. nov. and F. sacculus et sp. nov. (Prymnesio-phyceae) are described from subtropical N.E. Atlantic Ocean surface and subsurface water samples. Descriptions are based upon scanning electron microscope observations. The holococcolith-bearing species have coccoliths which are characterized by a short, hollow tube that flares out distally and forms a vaulted roof on one side of the coccolith rim. The distal opening may be partially occluded. These coccoliths, termed flosculoliths, represent a new type of holococcolith. The taxonomic positions of F. calceolariopsis and F. sacculus are considered, with reference to existing holococcolithophorid taxa.
