Gymnodinium vestifici Schütt
Ergeb. Plankton. Exped. Humboldt-Stift. IV. M.a.A: 168, pl. 25: fig. 85. 1895. (G)
Type locality: Atlantic Ocean

See Kapelodinium vestifici (Schütt) P.V. Boutrup, Ø. Moestrup, & N. Daugbjerg 2016 (T)
[The derivation of the epithet is not given; it might represent the genitive singular of "vestificus" (=of the tailor), but the reason is not apparent in the meager description or the figures (for instance, the cell does not look much like a thimble); in that case, "vestificii" would be an erroneous hypercorrection]
