Fensome, R. A., Gocht, H., Stover, L. E. and Williams, G. L., 1991 The Eisenack catalog of fossil dinoflagellates, new series, vol.1. E. Schweizerbart"sche Verlagsbuchhandlung (Nõgele u. Obermiller), Stuttgart. (Introduction) This volume is the first of a new series which has evolved from the "Katalog der fossilen Dinoflagellaten, Hystrichosphõren und verwandten Mikrofossilien" produced by Alfred Eisenack and co-workers Karl Klement and G÷ran Kjellstr÷m in eight issues (Eisenack and Klement, 1964; Eisenack, 1967; Eisenack and Kjellstr÷m, 1971, 1972, 1975a,b, 1981a,b). The initial emphasis in the new series is on taxa not included in the original series, but it is intended eventually to include all fossil dinoflagellate taxa. Reference is made in the appropriate entries to publications in which synonymy lists appear. The basic language of the new series is English, rather than German. Diagnoses and descriptions are always provided in English as well as in the original language if that language is other than English and is written in, or can be easily transliterated into, the Roman alphabet. Entries are provided for all taxa based on validly published names, regardless of whether the present editors, or any other author, regard them as taxonomic junior synonyms. Wherever possible, photomicrographs of the holotype of each species and infraspecific taxon are included. Additional photomicrographs and linedrawings, where available and appropriate, in order to help illustrate the original author"s concept, may also be provided. A completely updated reference list is included at the end of each volume. In the first volume of the new series, we present entries for all genera of fossil dinoflagellates which are cited in "Fossil Dinoflagellates: Index to Genera and Species 1989 Edition" (Lentin and Williams, 1989), but were not included in the original series of the Eisenack Katalog and, additionally, all new taxa introduced by Below (1981a) and Yun Hye-su (1981). Entries include information from publications available to the editors before 1st September, 1990.
