From Williams et al., 2017:
[Gonyaulax Diesing, 1866, p. 305, 382
modern genus defined from the motile stage.
Fensome et al. (1993b, p.93) considered Gonyaulax to be a possible taxonomic junior synonym of Spiniferites.
Type species: specimen not designated originally or apparently subsequently; "type species" Peridinium (now Gonyaulax) spiniferum Claparède and Lachmann, 1859]
