From Fensome et al., 2019:
From Williams et al., 2017:
Wervekodinium, Below 1990, p. 80, 82
Contrary to the opinion of Lentin and Williams (1993, p.670), this name is validly published since the name of the "type species" is validly published.
Type species: Wevekodinium granulatum, Below, 1990 (pl.16, figs.9–10,13)
