Identification The dinoflagellate Gonyaulax monacantha var minor sensu Balech (1971) has a shorter 5” as its anterior suture contacts the right side of 6” posteriorly to the posterior edge of 1”. Also, Gonyaulax taylorii has a much taller 5”. Plate 4’ in Balech’s fig. 127 does not have a ventral pore dividing it into two parts. Based on the remainder of the figures, the specimens studied by Balech (1971) were probably G. taylorii and the suture between plates 3’ and 5” was drawn in error. There is not enough information on the description of this variety by Pavillard (1916) to establish whether or not it is the species assayed here. The dinoflagellate Gonyaulax subulata sensu Taylor 1976 has a 6” quadrangular as Gonyaulax buxus Balech 1967. Additionally, G. taylorii has a 6” triangular with a pointed anterior edge in contact to the posterior end of plate adjacent to the right side of 1’. The present authors agree that Gonyaulax jolliffei Murray and Whitting (1899) is not Gonyaulax taylorii as its plate 6” is wide and trapezoidal, has a large 1a, the cingulum has no overhang and the hypotheca is pointed instead of having a large spine.

Description Cells 30–36 mm wide and 45–50 long with conspicuous apical horn of about half the length of the epitheca with pronounced shoulders, and one or two antapical spines of variable shape, able to be subdivided evenly. Cingulum displaced about 1.5 its width with a marked overhang. The theca is strong and heavily ornamented with many round depressions, most of which have a pore, especially abundant inthose near the cingulum. The plate formula is Po, 4’, 0a, 6”, ?s, 6c, 5”’, 0p, 2”’’. Po plate is hardly visible, as it is hidden by the apical plates. The ventral side of the apical horn is formed by two long and very narrow plates: 1’ which has a single line of round depressions,and 4’ with a very conspicuous ventral pore that divides this plate in two parts (named here 4’a and 4’p) that hence look like two plates, as after dissection they normally appear separated. Plates 2’ and 3’ are wider than 1’ and 4’ and form most of the apical horn of the epitheca. Precingular plates are much bigger than those of the apical series. Plate 6” is triangular and the pointed anterior end contacts S.a., 1’ and 4’ by very short sutures and almost coincident with the level of the anterior side of the left side of the cingulum. It was not possible to dissect all the sulcal plates. Sulcal anterior plate has an anterior part that penetrates the epitheca contacting 1”, 1’, and 6” and, sometimes 4’ when 6” is not in contact to 1’ as the posterior end of 4’ is between them. The anterior left sulcal (S.s.a.) appears as the first postcingular plate, but following Balech (1971) and Amorim et al. (2013), it should be considered as S.s.a although it appears as a left wing out of the sulcus and hence this species has 5 postcingular plates. This plate, S.s.a., shares the right side of the triangular 1”’ with plate 1”” which other authors considered as 1p. Width of the S.s.a. varies among cells. The second antapical plate 2”” has, in its right side, a strong spine of variable length that sometimes may appear longitudinally divided in two. A shorter spine may be present in the left side of 2”” and the posterior end of 1”” may form a wing that looks like another spine.
