Leptodinium amabile

amabile (Deflandre, 1939b, p.143, pl.6, fig.8) Sarjeant, 1969, p.12.  Emendation: Kunz, 1990, p.18–19, as Leptodinium amabile.  Holotype: Deflandre, 1939b, pl.6, fig.8; Jan du Chêne et al., 1986a, pl.69, figs.1–3.  Originally Gonyaulax (Appendix B), subsequently (and now) Leptodinium, thirdly Gonyaulacysta, fourthly Leptodinium?.  Lentin and Williams (1973, p.86) retained this species in Leptodinium.  Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.171) as a problematic species — however, Kunz (1990, p.18) included the species in Leptodinium without question.  Age: Kimmeridgian.

Parent: Leptodinium
