Homonymy This is a junior homonym of Coelosphaera (Coelosphaera) raphidifera (Topsent, 1889 as Fibularia). It has not been recently distinguished from the senior homonym, but one feature differs from this: the presence of two categories of sigmas, apparently absent in Topsent's species. Possibly the two have been confused in the recent literature. [details]

Homonymy This is a junior homonym of Coelosphaera (Coelosphaera) raphidifera (Topsent, 1889 as Fibularia). It has not been recently distinguished from the senior homonym, but one feature differs from this: the presence of two categories of sigmas, apparently absent in Topsent's species. Possibly the two have been confused in the recent literature. [details]Spelling Misspelled as C. rhaphidifera by Van Soest, 1984. [details]
