Cadosina
CADOSINA Wanner, 1940, p.79. Calcareous dinoflagellate genus, originally described as a foraminifer (see Elbrächter et al., 2008, p.1298). Emendation: Masters and Scott, 1978, p.220. Taxonomic senior synonym: Stomiosphaera, according to Bonet (1956, p.447–448 — however, I. Nagy (1966, p.87) proposed the retention of Cadosina. Taxonomic junior synonyms: Hemistomiosphaera, according to Řehánek and Cecca (1993, p.155); Obliquipithonella, according to Reháková and Michalík (1996, p.93) — however, Obliquipithonella is now considered a taxonomic junior synonym of Pirumella. Fensome and Williams (2004) considered this genus to be not validly published because a type was not designated. However, Elbrächter et al. (2008, p.1298) implied that this generic name can be considered validly published as it was proposed under the I.C.Z.N. Thus, we have revised the status of the contained species as appropriate, as well as reconsidered the generic synonymies. According to Řehánek and Cecca (1993, p.155), Řehánek (1985a) provided an emendation; however, the latter author did not indicate that he was emending Cadosina. Type: not designated; "type species" — Cadosina fusca.
