Gresslyodinium

From Williams et al., 2017:

[Gresslyodinium, Below, 1990, p. 50-51

Contrary to the opinion of Lentin and Williams (1993, p.268), this name is validly published since the name of the "type species" is validly published

Type species: Gresslyodinium mirabile, Below, 1990 ( pl.11, figs.2,4–7,10–11,14)]
