Nomenclatural notes
Popovsky & Pfiester (1990: 168) list this species with the authorities Peridinium cinctum Ehrenberg 1938. In the same work (p. 201) the name is also recorded with the authority 'Penard 1891’ as being a synonym of Peridiniopsis penardii (Lemmermann) Bourrelly 1968. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
INA notes "Basionym: 'Trichoda cincta O.F. Müller'; err. cit. for Vorticella cincta O.F. Müller 1773." But the combination is still valid as this is merely a "lapsus". - (26 September 2014) - M.D. Guiry
