Phanerodinium Deflandre, 1937a, p.110.
EMENDATIONS:
Below, 1987b, p.36-38;
Slimani, 1994, p.43.
SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic junior synonyms:
Fibradinium,
Microdinium,
Rhiptocorys and
Subtilidinium, all according to
Below (1987b, p.36) - however,
Lentin and Williams (1989, p.135,243,316,354) retained all four genera.
COMMENTS: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.236) noted that the type of
Phanerodinium,
Phanerodinium cayeuxii, is embedded in flint so the nature of the archeopyle is uncertain.
Accordingly,
Lentin and Williams (1989, p.289) recommended that only
Phanerodinium cayeuxii and
Phanerodinium setiferum be included in
Phanerodinium.
TYPE: Deflandre, 1935, pl.6, fig.3, as
Palaeoperidinium cayeuxii (name not validly published).
Species:
