Diagnostic Description

provided by Dinoflagellate LifeDesk

From Sampedro et al. 2011:

Unarmored dinoflagellates occur with peridinin
as the major light-harvesting accessory pigment. An
apical groove that starts in the anterior part of the
intersection between the sulcus and the cingulum,
runs diagonally to the anterior right side of the cell,
and then turns counterclockwise around the apical
part of the cell in a very elongated transversal loop
before ending near the right side of its origin.
