• Resumen

  • Specimens assigned to the dinoflagellate genus Craspedotella Kofoid 1905 are reported for the first time after the initial description in the Eastern Pacific.Craspedotella sp. is composed of a dome with radial fibrils in the lower margin and a broad band at the base with unidentified structures, tentatively pores. Another specimen, identified asCraspedotella cf. pileolus, was smaller than the type species. Other specimens with a conical shape and a pointed apex have been assigned to the genus. The morphological discrepancies in the Kofoid¿s description and later by Cachon & Cachon make difficult the identification of Craspedotella pileolus
