"Cadosina" Wanner, 1940, p.79.

STATUS: Name not validly published: type species not validly published.

SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic senior synonym: Hemistomiosphaera, by implication in Rehánek and Cecca (1993, p.155), who believed Cadosina to be the senior name. Taxonomic senior synonym: Obliquipithonella, by implication in Reháková and Michalík (1996, p.93), who believed Cadosina to be the senior name - however, Obliquipithonella is now considered a taxonomic junior synonym of Pirumella and Réhaková and Michalík did indicate Cadosina to be a taxonomic synonym of Pirumella.

COMMENTS: Calcareous dinoflagellate genus, originally described as a foraminifer. Taxonomic synonyms: Stomiosphaera (name not validly published), according to Bonet (1956, p.447-448), who considered Cadosina to be the junior name - however, I. Nagy (1966, p.87) proposed the retention of Cadosina. According to Rehánek and Cecca (1993, p.155), Rehánek (1985a) provided an emendation; however, the latter author did not indicate that he was emending Cadosina.

TYPE: not designated; "type species" - Cadosina fusca (name not validly published).
