Author(s): Gary L. Spraul

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

All the known species of the genus Cribrohantkenina have been refigured. The genus Cribrohantkenina is monotypic with Hantkenina inflata Howe, 1928, the type species. Hantkenina mccordi Howe and Wallace, 1932; Hantkenina danvillensis Howe and Wallace, 1934; and Hantkenina (Cribrohantkenina) bermudezi Thalman, 1942; are junior synonyms. The genus is confined to the upper Eocene (Priabonian) and is an important, worldwide, index fossil.
