Genus Gonyaulacysta

Gonyaulacysta Deflandre, 1964, p.5030.

EMENDATIONS: Sarjeant, 1969, p.7-8; Stover and Evitt, 1978, p.157-158; Sarjeant, 1982b, p.27-28; Helenes and Lucas-Clark, 1997, p.175-176.

SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic senior synonym: Rhynchodiniopsis, by implication in Millioud (1969, p.428) who transferred the "type species" of Rhynchodiniopsis, Rhynchodiniopsis aptiana, to Gonyaulacysta - however, Lentin and Williams (1973, p.58,121) retained Gonyaulacysta. Taxonomic junior synonyms: Nelchinopsis, according to Duxbury (1977, p.37) - however, Stover and Williams (1987, p.11) retained Nelchinopsis; Psaligonyaulax, according to Below (1981a, p.52) - however, Lentin and Williams (1981, p.235) retained Psaligonyaulax.

COMMENTS: Although the "type species", Gonyaulacysta jurassica, was not validly transferred to Gonyaulacysta by Deflandre (1964), the generic name Gonyaulacysta was validly published by that author since it is based on a previously validly published species name.

TYPE: Deflandre, 1939a, pl.6, figs.2-3; text-figs.1-2, as Gonyaulax jurassica.
