Taxonomic remark From Wisshak et al., 2019: Chaetophorites Pratje, 1922, including the type ichnospecies C. gomontoides Pratje, 1922 and C. tenuis Mägdefrau, 1937, are nomina dubia. A neotype designation for lost type material of the former has proven infeasible (Glaub 1994), and C. tenuis is too poorly defned and illustrated to allow an unambiguous application. Chaetophorites appears to have represented a storage tank for various microborings, which have only become accessible to reliable morphological characterization with the advent of the epoxy casting method in the 1970s (Golubić et al. 1970). A third ichnospecies, C. cruciatus Mägdefrau, 1937, was later recognized as bryozoan trace fossil and was recombined by Voigt (1973) as Immergentia cruciata (Mägdefrau, 1937). [details]
