Votadinium calvum

*calvum Reid, 1977, p.444-445, pl.2, figs.21-23.  Holotype: Reid, 1977, pl.2, fig.21; Fensome et al., 1993a, fig.1 - p.1017.  Motile equivalent: Peridinium (now Protoperidinium) oblongum (Aurivillius, 1898) Cleve, 1900, according to Reid (1977, p.444).  Contrary to the opinion of Lentin and Williams (1993, p.666), this name is not illegitimate following I.C.B.N. Article 52.1, since Reid (1977, p.444) did not explicitly include the type of Peridinium oblongum in synonymy with his new species, Votadinium calvum.  Age: Holocene.

Parent: Votadinium
