Holotype species: Lebouraia minuta T.H.Abé

Original publication and holotype designation: Abé, T.H. (1941). Studies on the protozoan fauna of Shimoda Bay. I. The Diplopsalis group. Records of Oceanographic Works in Japan 12(2): 121-144.

Description: Thecate dinoflagellates very similar to Diplopelta Stein ex Jörgensen and differing only in the first apical plate which is 5-sided in Lebouraia but 4-sided in Diplopelta. In Lebouraia, the first apical intercalary plate is much larger than the second, vice versa in Diplopelta. Cysts unknown. Regarded as not distinct on the genus level from Diplopelta by Balech and Akselman (1988), but may be regarded as subgenus of Diplopelta. Marine plankton, in coastal waters.

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Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera, organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA) and intended to be published in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.
