D'Orbigny's type specimen could not be located at the MNHN during May 1985, although a tablet (numbered 6027) bearing the appropriate label but with no specimen attached was found. Gregory (1899) did not record Laterocavea dutempleana from Faringdon but described a new species, Petalopora cunningtoni, which is undoubtedly a junior synonym of L. dutempleana. There are 3 syntypcs of P. cunningtoni, two from Faringdon (BM(NH) D5130, D71()4) and one\BM(NH) D2301) in an argillaceous matrix from an unknown locality. BM(NH) D71()4 is herein chosen as the lectotype of P. cunningtoni.
