Leipokatium

From Williams et al., 2017:

[Leipokatium, Bradford, 1975, p. 3066

Harland and Reid in Harland et al. (1980, p.223) contended that this name was not validly published in Bradford (1975) since that author did not provide a Latin description. However, it is based on a fossil type and thus does not require a Latin description in order to be validly published.
