Stelladinium

STELLADINIUM Bradford, 1975, p.3065-3066.  Originally (and now) Stelladinium, subsequently Protoperidinium subgenus Archaeperidinium section Stelladinium (combination not validly published).  Harland and Reid in Harland et al. (1980, p.222,224) considered Stelladinium Bradford, 1975 to be not validly published, since it lacked a Latin diagnosis.  As noted by Fensome et al. (1991, p.477), this was not necessary since a Latin diagnosis is not required for fossil cysts.  Type: Bradford, 1975, fig.2, as Stelladinium reidii.
