Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark From Gurdebeke et al., 2023: The acritarch genus Radiosperma has been reported from plankton and sediments since the late 19th century, with suggested biological affinities ranging from invertebrate eggs to tintinnids. Here, the genus description is improved and its two species, Radiosperma corbiferum and Radiosperma textum, are redescribed. Radiosperma textum is shown to be a ciliate cyst related to Askenasia based on new SSU and LSU rRNA sequences. [details]
