Taxonomic remark Authority as given in Moestrup & Daugbjerg, 2007; some sources ascribe this class name to Pascher, 1914 (author of Division Pyrrhophyta). Following the treatment of Ruggiero et al., the traditional class Dinophyceae (sensu lato) is now equivalent to the superclass Dinoflagellata, which contains the classes Dinophyceae sensu stricto (this taxon), Ellobiopsea (order Ellobiopsida), Noctilucea (order Noctilucida), Oxyrrhea (orders Acrocoelida and Oxyrrhida), and Syndinea (orders Rastrimonadida and Syndinida), all formerly treated as dinoflagellates.
