A note on the nomenclature of some Upper Jurassic dinoflagellate cyst taxa

Abstract. In 1980, several new species of dinoflagellate cyst taxa were validly published and named from the Kimmeridge Clay of England as part of a larger study on Kimmeridgian-Valanginian dinoflagellate cyst assemblages (Fisher & Riley, 1980); this study was originally presented at the IV International Palynological Conference, Lucknow in 1976–77. This note, necessitated by the long publication delay and numerous printing errors, comprises taxonomic re-allocations, taking account of subsequent studies (Norris, 1978; Stover & Evitt, 1978; Davey, 1979; Riley, 1979) and corrects inadvertent taxonomic errors.
