HISTORY: Originally Dichadogonyaulax, subsequently Ctenidodinium, thirdly Ctenidodinium?. Questionable assignment: Benson (1985, p.152).

SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic senior synonym: Dichadogonyaulax (as Ctenidodinium) sellwoodii, according to Riley and Fenton (1982, p.199) and Conway (1990, p.35). Taxonomic senior synonym: Ctenidodinium tenellum, according to Courtinat (1989, p.209) - however, Lentin and Williams (1993, p.179-180) retained Dichadogonyaulax stauromatos as a taxonomic junior synonym of Dichadogonyaulax sellwoodii.

COMMENTS: Dodekova (1990, p.36) considered Ctenidodinium? rotundum to be a probable taxonomic senior synonym of this species.
