Stelladinium Bradford, 1975, p.3065-3066.
HISTORY: Originally (and now) Stelladinium, subsequently Protoperidinium subgenus Archaeperidinium section Stelladinium (name not validly published). COMMENTS: Harland and Reid in Harland et al. (1980, p.222,224) considered Stelladinium Bradford, 1975 to be not validly published, since it lacked a Latin diagnosis. As noted by Fensome et al. (1991, p.477), this was not necessary since a Latin diagnosis is not required for fossil cysts. TYPE: Bradford, 1975, fig.2, as Stelladinium reidii.
