*crystallinum (Deflandre, 1939a, p.165, pl.5, figs.1–3) Klement, 1960, p.18.  Emendation: Riding and Fensome, 2003, p.12–13.  Holotype: Deflandre, 1939a, pl.5, figs.1–2; Jan du Chêne et al., 1986a, pl.104, figs.1–4.  Originally Gymnodinium (Appendix B), subsequently (and now) Scriniodinium.  Taxonomic junior synonym: Scriniodinium playfordii, according to Jan du Chêne et al. (1986a, p.316) — however, Brenner (1988, p.79) retained Scriniodinium playfordii.  This combination was not validly published in Klement (1957, p.409), since that author did not fully reference the basionym.  Riding and Fensome (2003, p.18) considered this species to be the possible taxonomic senior synonym of Scriniodinium oxfordianum.  Age: Oxfordian.
