Now Valvaeodinium punctatum subsp. magnum. Originally Comparodinium punctatum var. magnum, subsequently Comparodinium punctatum ssp. magnum, thirdly Valvaeodinium punctatum var. magnum, fourthly (and now) Valvaeodinium punctatum ssp. magnum.
Holotype: Wille and Gocht, 1979, fig.26, no.11
Locus typicus: Jebenhausen, Swabian Alb, S Germany
Stratum typicum: Early Toarcian
Translation Wille and Gocht, 1979: LPP
Original diagnosis: Wille and Gocht, 1979, p. 231
Body elliptical, with smooth wall, unornamented except for the apical horn and occasional granae. Apical archaeopyle with two opercula.
Dimensions: Holotype 66x42 ↨0m, other (21) specimens 61-80 µm long, 38-52 µm broad.
Affinities: Wille and Gocht, 1979, p. 231
