comatum (Morgenroth, 1966b, p.1, pl.1, figs.1-2) Eisenack and Kjellström, 1972, p.907. Holotype: Morgenroth, 1966b, pl.1, fig.1. Originally Peridinium (Appendix B), subsequently (and now) Phthanoperidinium. Taxonomic junior synonyms: Phthanoperidinium tritonium, according to Bujak in Bujak et al. (1980, p.72) - however, Fensome et al. (2009, p.54-55) considered Phthanoperidinium tritonium to be a taxonomic junior synonym of Phthanoperidinium coreoides; Hystrichogonyaulax (now Phthanoperidinium) coreoides, according to Stover and Evitt (1978, p.118) - however, Benedek and Sarjeant (1981, p.328-330) retained Phthanoperidinium coreoides. Eaton (1976, p.294) also proposed this combination. Age: Early Oligocene.
