whitei (Deflandre and Courteville, 1939, p.103, pl.3, figs.5-6) Stover and Evitt, 1978, p.227. Emendation: Monteil, 1991a, p.444, as Cometodinium whitei. Holotype: Deflandre and Courteville, 1939, pl.3, fig.5, lost according to Monteil (1991a, p.439). Neotype: Monteil, 1991a, pl.2, figs.1a-c; pl.3, fig.9, designated by Monteil (1991a, p.444); Fauconnier and Masure, 2004, pl.16, figs.7-8.
