Plate P1. The modified Kofoid system (as outlined in Fensome et al., 1993b) is used in the labeling of individual plates for the gonyaulacaleans. The Kofoid system is used in the labeling of plates in the peridinialeans. The archeopyle location is denoted by diagonal lines. 1. Achilleodinium biformoides (Eisenack 1954b) Eaton 1976.
