Ceratoperidinium

Ceratoperidinium is a genus of dinoflagellates in the order Gymnodiniales.[1] The genus contains two species.[2] It was first created in 1969 by Margalef, with Ceratoperidinium yeye as the type species. However, because it was not correctly described it was considered invalid, as was C. yeye.[3] In 1980, Lobelich III described the genus as Ceratoperidinium Margalef ex Loeblich III, renaming C. yeye as C. margalefii.[3] In 2014, Gyrodinium falcatum was reassigned to Ceratoperidinium based on genetic analysis.[3]
