Votadinium spinosum

spinosum Reid, 1977, p.445-446, pl.2, figs.24-26.  Holotype: Reid, 1977, pl.2, figs.24-26.  Motile equivalent: Protoperidinium claudicans (Paulsen, 1907) Balech, 1974, according to Reid (1977, p.445).  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.445) did not explicitly include the type of Peridinium claudicans in synonymy with his new species, Votadinium spinosum.  Age: Holocene.

Parent: Votadinium
