AB -Three genera Apectodinium, Kisselovia and Wetzeliella, the fossil dinoflagellate cysts of Wetzeliellaceae, obtained from Eocene sediments from offshore Keelung in northern Taiwan are reported. Two species of the genus Apectodinium (A. homomorphum (Deflandre & Coookson) Lentin & Williams emend. Harland and A. raritubiformium sp. Nov.), three species of the genus Kisselovia (K. pengchiahsuensis sp. Nov., K. coleothrypta (Williams & Downie) Lentin & Williams and K. taiwaniana sp. Nov.) and four new varieties of the genus Wetzeliella (W. symmetrica var. taiwaniana var. nov., W. symmetrica var. scabrata var. nov., W. articulata var. taiwaniana var. nov. and  W. articulata var. scabrata var. nov.) are described. They are distributed sporadically in the Eocene formations, but have not been observed in Oligo-Miocene of Taiwan and may therefore have significance as marker species of Eocene.
