Nomenclatural note
Seemingly originally first introduced without a description, but validated by analytical figures (Melbourne Code; see ICN Art. 38.7 "For the purpose of Art. 38.5, prior to 1 January 1908, an illustration with analysis (see Art. 38.9 and 38.10) is acceptable in place of a written description or diagnosis."). Moestrup & Calado (2018: 272) note, "... the synonymy between P. tabulatum and P. bipes has been noted by Lefèvre (1932, p. 114-116), who, however, retained the latter name. We have confirmed Lefèvre's conclusions in Ehrenberg's collection of mica preparations kept at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin (Lazarus & Jahn 1998). The consistent and well-defined use of the name P. bipes contrasts with the erratic use of the name P. tabulatum, which was applied to almost any freshwater peridinioid with visible plates until its redefinition by Stein (1883). We are retaining the use of P. bipes pending its conservation against P. tabulatum, to be proposed elsewhere." - (22 August 2018) - M.D. Guiry
