Baculites are probably synonyms; as first revising authors, we select B. menabensis as the name of this species. As far as lateral ornament is concerned, Madagascan B. menabensis is indis- tinguishable from similarly dated specimens described as B. incurvatus from Braunschweig in Germany by Miiller & Wollemann (1906: 4, pi. 2 (figs 2-5)) and the Vaals Formation on the Belgian-Dutch border by Holzapfel (1887: 64, pi. 4 (figs 5-6)). More and precisely located material is needed to resolve the true identity of these European specimens. Baculites tanakae Matsumoto & Obata (1963: 51, pi. 13 (fig. 4), pi. 16 (figs 1-5), pi. 17 (figs 1-5), pi. 18 (figs 1, 3-4), pi. 19 (figs 1, 4), text-figs 97- 113, 115)) from the Lower Campanian of Hokkaido is probably a senior syn- onym of B. menabensis as here interpreted. According to Matsumoto & Obata.
