Revised Benson (1966) taxonomy Richard N. Benson (28/01/2004) |
In 2003, Richard N. Benson and Kjell Bjørklund revised the taxonomy of the Gulf of California radiolarian species to conform to modern usage. Some of the names of Benson (1966 and 1983) were changed accordingly. See synonymy for previously used names for this taxon.

Benson photos are not P.p.eucolpum David Lazarus (13/09/2005) |
The 2 illustrated specimens from Benson 1966 are not, in my opinion P. praetextum eucolpum. The first image appears to be a Lychnocanium - note the very long, slightly outward curving feet and distinctly globular thorax. The second specimen has the characteristic baretta shape of a P.p.praetextum. |
