Peridinium hansonianum Traverse from the freshwater Brandon Formation (Oligocene, Vermont) is redescribed. Although its morphology basically recalls that of fossil Deflandrea, closest similarities are to Peridinium limbatum (Stokes) Lemmermann, a modern freshwater dinoflagellate. P. hansonianum thus provides another link between modern freshwater dinoflagellates and marine forms of the fossil record that lack modern marine counterparts. It appears increasingly likely that this situation reflects colonization of the freshwater habitat by dinoflagellate migrants from the marine environment, with the date for such a colonization at least as early as the late Oligocene
