Tubotuberella lurida
Tubotuberella lurida (Deflandre, 1938, p.166) Davies, 1983, p.24
Now Endoscrinium. Originally Gymnodinium, subsequently Scriniodinium, thirdly (and now) Endoscrinium, fourthly Tubotuberella. Brenner, 1988 retained this species in Tubotuberella; Lentin and Williams, 1989, 1993 retainined it in Endoscrinium (Klement, 1960) Vozzhennikova, 1967.
Holotype: Deflandre, 1938, pl.5, figs.4-5; Jan du Chêne et al., 1986, pl.109, figs.6-8
Age: Early Oxfordian

Endoscrinium luridum (Deflandre, 1938a) Gocht, 1970b, is similar to E.asymmetricum in having a winglike ventral area of the hypocyst, which projects over the antapical paraplate, which is ventral in position. However, in E.asymmetricum the lobes of the winglike hypocystal feature are markedly different in size, this disparity gives the distinctive asymmetrical dorso-ventral outline. E.asymmetricum is also more angular in outline and more elongate longitudinally than E.luridum. The only opening in the periphragm of E.luridum is the archeopyle. E.asymmetricum may also have one or two opisthopyles. Size: length of 107 µm, minimum of 49 µm. The holotype is 68 x 69 µm.
