Abstract  A review of the dinoflagellate genus Corrudinium is presented, based primarily on a survey of species occurring in New Zealand sediments of Eocene age. Three new species, Corrudinium regulare, C. otagoense, and C. eyrense, are described, and one new combination, C. (al. Ochetodinium) vermiculatum, is proposed. The stratigraphic ranges of New Zealand species indicate their potential utility in Eocene biostratigraphy.
