Vozzhennikovia filigrana

From Fensome et al., 2019:
Vozzhennikova? filigrana (Benedek, 1972) Lentin and Williams, 1976
Now Phthanoperidinium. Originally Deflandrea?, subsequently Vozzhennikovia?, thirdly Dioxya, fourthly (and now) Phthanoperidinium.
At the time of the transfer, Lentin and Williams, 1976, questionably included this species in Vozzhennikovia.
Morgan, 1977, transferred the species to Dioxya Cookson and Eisenack, 1958. Lentin and Williams, 1981, retained it in Vozzhennikovia.
