In 1920, Kofoid and US zoologist Olive Swezy (1873-1968),[3]publishedPavillardiaKof. & Swezy 1920(a genus of dinoflagellates) in Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool. pages 323-324. It was named in honour ofJules Pavillard.[4]
In 1921, Kofoid and Olive Swezy, wrote a book about unarmoreddinoflagellatesinLa Jolla,California, in which they described a new genus calledTorodinium(withTorodinium robustumand thetype speciesTorodinium teredo).[5]They also publishedGyrodinium,which is a genus of dinoflagellates belonging to the orderGymnodinialesin 'Memoirs of the University of California'. vol.5.[6]
In 1929, botanist Pavillard first describedKofoidinium,which is a genus ofdinoflagellatesbelonging to the familyKofoidiniaceae.[7]
