Now Cribroperidinium. Originally Palaeoperidinium, subsequently Leptodinium, thirdly Leptodinium?, fourthly (and now) Cribroperidinium. See also Gonyaulacysta (combination not validly published).
Stover and Evitt, 1978, considered this to be a problematical species of Leptodinium.
Sarjeant, 1982, considered this to be a provisionally accepted species of Leptodinium.
Jan du Chêne et al., 1986, recommended that the name be restricted to the holotype.
