Paucibucina
From Williams et al., 2017:
[Paucibucina, Jiabo, 1978, p. 73-74; Emendation: Mao Shaozhi et al., 1995, p.44.
Chen et al. (1988, p.22) considered this to be an acritarch genus. However, Lentin in Lentin and Williams (1989, p.285) examined the type and determined it to be a dinoflagellate cyst.
Type Species: Paucibucina dongyingensis, Jiabo, 1978 (pl.24, fig.1; text-fig.14)]

Original description: [Jiabo, 1978]: (Translation: Chen et al., 1988, p. 22):
Diagnosis:
Cysts subspherical, more or less circular in outline. Wall is usually thin with a smooth surface. Generally 4 to 5 tubular processes are distributed uniformly, possibly equatorially. Also present are other types of processes which vary in number (commonly 5, total number of processes never exceeds 10). Paratabulation is unknown, although the 4 to 5 tubular processes may be cingular. There are no indications of an archeopyle.
