Taxonomic remark From Liu et al., 2015: The affinity of Wetheredella has long been debated. It has variously been suggested to be a foraminifer (Wood 1948), cyanobacterium (Copper 1976), and green alga (Mamet & Roux 1975; Ishchenko & Radionova 1981; Chuvashov et al. 1987). Copper’s (1976) view that Wetheredella is a cyanobacterium was challenged by Riding (1977b), who considered it a Microproblematicum (Riding 1991a). Based on present-day material, Kaźmierczak & Kempe (1992, 2004) proposed that structures similar to Wetheredella may be produced by calcification of aggregates of colonies of pleurocapsalean cyanobacteria. Recently, Wetheredella has been assigned to the incertae sedis group Algospongia (Vachard & Cozar 2010), and compared with the similarly problematical fossil Allonema (Munnecke & Jarochowska 2014). It is possible that Wetheredella is a synonym of Allonema Ulrich & Bassler 1904 (Jarochowska & Munnecke 2014). We regard Wetheredella as a Microproblematicum. [details]
