Abstract Masure, E., Tea, J. and Yao, R., 1996. The dinoflagellate Andalusiella: emendation of the genus, revision of species, A. ivoirensis Masure, Tea and Yao, sp. nov. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology 91 (1996) 171-186. Abstract The genus Andalusiella is herein emended to correct previous assertions that the right is the longer of the two antapical horns of A. mauthei, the type species. The longest antapical horn is indeed the left one and not the right one. From the Maastrichtien of Ivory Coast, Andalusiella ivoirensis Masure, Tea and Yao, sp. nov. exhibits parasutural septa which delineate a peridinioid paratabulation: 1-2 ?pr, 4", 3a, 7", 4-5c, 5"", 2"", Xs, ps. All species of the genus are restudied. The diagnoses of A. dubia and A. rhomboides are emended. The subspecies aegyptica and punctata are attributed to A. mauthei instead of A. polymorpha based on the position of the forking of the two antapical horns; the subspecies punctata is emended. A. vozzhennikovae is attributed to the genus Trithyrodinium. A key for the determination of all species is proposed. The geographic location of the species on a paleogeographic map (65 Ma) shows that their distribution is between O and 40o N and S latitudes.
