Chlamydophorella pyriformis
Chlamydophorella pyriformis, (Vozzhennikova, 1967), Davey, 1978
Now Gardodinium. Originally (and now) Gardodinium, subsequently Chlamydophorella.
Lentin and Williams, 1989, retained this species in Gardodinium Alberti, 1961.
Lentin and Vozzhennikova, 1990, provided an expanded description for the species, as Gardodinium pyriforme.
Taxonomic senior synonym: Scriniodinium (as and now Gardodinium) trabeculosum, according to Harding (1996, p.359). Lentin and Vozzhennikova (1990, p.102) provided an "expanded description" for the species, as Gardodinium pyriforme.
Holotype: Vozzhennikova, 1967, pl.100, fig.4; Lentin and Vozzhennikova, 1990, text-fig.57 (lost according to Lentin and Vozzhennikova, 1990)
Neotype: Lentin and Vozzhennikova, 1990, pl.12, figs.8-10 (designated by Lentin and Vozzhennikova, 1990)
Locus typicus: Tambovsk region, Russia
Stratum typicum: Barremian

Original description as Gardodinium pyriforme: [Vozzhennikova, 1967, p.179]: (Translation: Lentin and Vozzhennikova, 1990):
Description:
Theca pyriform with tubular apical process open at the distal end. Transverse furrow divides the theca into unequal parts - a short hypotheca and a long epitheca. Tabulation clearly discernible although it is not possible to determine the number of plates. Internal body has the same shape as the theca and possess a small apical process which extends into the tubular apical horn. Surface of internal body covered with slender processes which bifurcate at the ends and appears to give an inner wall to the theca. Theca slender, delicate, transparent.
