Ctenidodinium tenellum

tenellum Deflandre, 1939a, p.182, pl.9, figs.9-10.  Holotype: Deflandre, 1939a, pl.9, figs.9-10.  Taxonomic junior synonym: Dichadogonyaulax stauromatos, according to Courtinat (1989, p.209) - however, Lentin and Williams (1993, p.179-180) retained Dichadogonyaulax stauromatos as a taxonomic junior synonym of Dichadogonyaulax sellwoodii.  Sarjeant (1978a, p.37) recommended "that this species name should be allowed to fall into disuse".  Woollam (1980, p.250) considered Dichadogonyaulax (as Ctenidodinium) sellwoodii and Dichadogonyaulax (as Ctenidodinium) stauromatos to be possible taxonomic junior synonyms of this species.  Age: Oxfordian.
