Naiadinium Carty, 2014

Holotype species: Naiadinium polonicum (Wołoszyńska) Carty

Original publication and holotype designation: Carty, S. (2014). Freshwater dinoflagellates of North America. pp. [i]-viii, [2], [1]-260, 153 figs. Ithaca & London: Comstock Publishing Associates. A division of Cornell University Press.

Description: The two known species share the plate formula po, cp, x, 4?, 1–2a, 7'', 6c (T + 5c), 5s, 5''', 2'''' and cysts with thin spines or wart-like thickenings. Vegetative cells often with thin cover but amphiesmal plates are visible in the light microscope.

Information contributed by: Moestrup & Calado (2018). The most recent alteration to this page was made on 2018-10-25 by M.D. Guiry.

Taxonomic status: This name is of an entity that is currently accepted taxonomically.

Most recent taxonomic treatment adopted: Moestrup, Ø. & Calado, A.J. (2018). Süßwasserflora von Mitteleuropa. Dinophyceae. Vol. 6 pp. [i]-xii, [1]-560, 421 figures. Berlin: Springer Spektrum.

Comments: One species, N. polonicum, is well known and widely distributed, with characteristic convex-concave cells, while the other, N. lubieniensiforme, has apparently not been seen since its description from Austria some 75 years ago. Its phylogenetic relationships therefore remain unresolved.

Verification of Data

Contributors
Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera, organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA) and intended to be published in CD format. These AlgaeBase descriptions are now being continually updated, and each current contributor is identified above. The PSA and AlgaeBase warmly acknowledge the generosity of all past and present contributors and particularly the work of Dr Parker.

Descriptions of chrysophyte genera were subsequently published in J. Kristiansen & H.R. Preisig (eds.). 2001. Encyclopedia of Chrysophyte Genera. Bibliotheca Phycologica 110: 1-260.
