Leptodinium reticulatum
Leptodinium? reticulatum (Nagy, 1969) Lentin and Williams, 1973
Originally Gonyaulax (based on motile stage), subsequently Leptodinium, thirdly (and now) Leptodinium?.
Stover and Evitt, 1978, considered Leptodinium reticulatum to be a problematical species of Leptodinium.
Sarjeant, 1982, considered the species to be a provisionally accepted species of Leptodinium.
Jan du Chêne et al., 1986, also considered this to be a problematic species of Leptodinium and recommended that the name be restricted to the holotype.
Holotype: Nagy, 1969, pl.1, figs.7,10; Jan du Chêne et al., 1986, pl.74, figs.5-6
Age: Late Pannonian
