Abstract
Two species described in 1867 by Karrer as foraminifera (Lagena dianae
Karrer and Orbulina neojurensis Karrer) from the Oxfordian cherty
limestones near Vienna (Austria) are in all probability Radiolaria.
This fact has both systematical and historical consequences: (a) Lagena
dianae becomes a senior synonym of Mirifusus mediodilatatus (Rust), a
common and characteristic species of the Upper Jurassic, and has
priority over this name and over all the other synonyms of this species;
(b) F. Karrer and not Zittel should be considered as the first who
described pre-Tertiary radiolarians.
