Phthanoperidinium resistente

Phthanoperidinium resistente (Morgenroth, 1966a, p.5, pl.2, figs.1–2) Eisenack and Kjellström, 1972, p.911.

Originally Peridinium (based on motile stage), subsequently (and now) Phthanoperidinium. Stover and Evitt (1978, p.119) considered this species to be a possible taxonomic junior synonym of Phthanoperidinium eocenicum. Eaton (1976, p.294) also proposed this combination.

Holotype: Morgenroth, 1966a, pl.2, figs.1–2.
Age: early Eocene.
