| Comments | Two species described and illustrated in Ehrenberg 1839: T. favus (p. 156) and T. striolatum (p. 157), no generitype designated. See Ehrenberg 1840 (ref. 000290) where Triceratium was also introduced as a new genus, p. 49. See also Ehrenberg 1841 (ref. 000953) p. 129 (ref. 000290 and 000953 are identical except for pagination). Farr et al. (1979) indicate that Mann (1907), p. 295 (ref. 000631) designated T. favus as the type; Van Heurck (1896), p. 466 (ref. 000897), however, had previously designated T. favus as the type. |
