Dichadogonyaulax

DICHADOGONYAULAX Sarjeant, 1966b, p.153.  Emendations: Sarjeant, 1975a, p.50; Woollam, 1983, p.193; Benson, 1985, p.152.  Taxonomic senior synonym: Ctenidodinium, according to Lentin and Williams (1973, p.46) - however, Sarjeant (1975a, p.50) and Benson (1985, p.152) retained Dichadogonyaulax.  Taxonomic junior synonyms: Brotzenia, by implication in Fensome and Sarjeant (1982, p.56), who transferred the "type species" of Brotzenia - Brotzenia cristata - to Dichadogonyaulax; Avellodinium, by implication in Davey (1982b, p.26), who transferred the "type species" of Dichadogonyaulax, Dichadogonyaulax (originally Gonyaulax) culmula, to Avellodinium - however, Lentin and Williams (1985, p.31) retained that species in Dichadogonyaulax and retained Avellodinium.  Although the "type species" was not validly transferred by Sarjeant (1966b, p.153), the generic name Dichadogonyaulax was validly published by that author since it is based on a previously validly published species name (I.C.B.N. Article 37.2).  Type: Norris, 1965, figs.8-9, as Gonyaulax culmula.

Parent: Subfamily Leptodinioideae
