Taxonomic note
Cortés & Bollmann (2002) describe a combination coccosphere of the heterococcolithophore species Coronosphaera mediterranea and the holococcolithophore species Calyptrolithophora hasleana. They conclude that this combination plus the combination of Coronosphaera mediterranea with Calyptrolithina wettsteinii implies that these three taxa belong to the same species. They note that the name Coronosphaera mediterranea has priority and is therefore the appropriate name. They note that Cros et al. (2000) have suggested a revision of the nomenclatural taxonomy of hetero- and holococcolith associations and according to their proposal, suggest the following names for the heterococcolith-bearing and the two holococcolith-bearing phases of this species: Coronosphaera mediterranea, Coronosphaera mediterranea HO wettsteinii and Coronosphaera mediterranea HO hasleana. - (16 December 2010) - G.M.
