Palinosphaeria

"PALINOSPHAERIA" Voigt and Häntzschel 1964, p.538.  Calcareous dinoflagellate genus (see Elbrächter et al., 2008, p.1301, who noted that the cyst wall is pithonelloid and so a dinoflagellate affinity is questionable).  Name not validly published: on the basis that Voigt and Häntzschel (1964) were working under the I.C.Z.N., Elbrächter et al. (2008, p.1301) indicated that the generic name Palinosphaeria is not validly published (using I.C.N. terminology) as it contravenes I.C.Z.N. Articles 13.3 and 15.1.  Type: Palinosphaera sphaerica - no holotype designated.
