Abstract

The holotypes of Late Cretaceous species of the genera Dictyomitra Zittel, 1876 and Lithostrobus Bütschli, 1882 (Radiolaria) from the collection of R.Kh. Lipman were re-examined. It is shown that not all of them agree with generic diagnoses. It is established that Dictyomitra gigantea Lipman, D. scalaris Lipman, and Lithostrobus turritella Lipman in fact belong to the genus Xitus Pessagno, 1977. The diagnoses of three species, X. giganteus (Lipman, 1952), emend. nov., X. scalaris (Lipman, 1952), emend. nov., and X. turritellus (Lipman, 1952), emend. nov., are emended. Species published without appropriate descriptive material are considered to be nomina nuda: Lithocampe tetracamerata Lipman nom. nud. and Theocampe sibirica Lipman nom. nud.
