Notes
"December 16, 1968."
The holotype of Nipterella paradoxica (Billings), based on Calathium paradoxicum Billings, 1865, is not a sponge but a cherty concretion. The name Nipterella paradoxica is thus a nomen nudum and should be rejected.
Fieldiana series has been published as Geological Series by Field Columbian Museum (1895-1909) and Field Museum of Natural History (1909-1943), and as Fieldiana: Geology by Chicago Natural History Museum (1945-1966) and Field Museum of Natural History (1966-).
