Deflandrea microverrusa

"microverrusa" Yu Jingxian and Zhang Wangping, 1980, p.109, pl.3, figs.1–2.  Holotype: Yu Jingxian and Zhang Wangping, 1980, pl.3, fig.2.  NOW Alterbidinium.  Originally Deflandrea, subsequently Isabelidinium?, thirdly (and now) Alterbidinium.  Yu Jingxian and Zhang Wangping (1980, p.109) spelled the epithet as "microverrusa"in their text, but as "microverrucosa" in the plate caption.  DINOFLAJ2 and later editions of the "Lentin and Williams Index" have cited the spelling as "microverrucosa", but He Chengquan et al. (2009, p.416) used "microverrusa", a practice that we follow here.  Age: Campanian–early Maastrichtian.
