"Obliquipithonella" Keupp in
Keupp and Mutterlose, 1984, p.158.
SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic senior synonym:
Pirumella,
by implication in
Lentin and Williams (1985,
p.383),
who,
on the basis of proposals by
Keupp (1981)
and
Keupp and Mutterlose (1984),
included the "type species"
of
Pirumella,
Pirumella edithvincentiae
(as a taxonomic junior synonym of
Obliquipithonella thayeri),
in
Obliquipithonella.
COMMENTS: Calcareous dinoflagellate genus.
Following this taxonomic synonymy,
Obliquipithonella must continue to be considered a taxonomic junior synonym of
Pirumella.
Although the "type species",
Obliquipithonella multistrata,
was not validly transferred to
Obliquipithonella
by Keupp in
Keupp and Mutterlose (1984,
p.158),
the generic name
Obliquipithonella
was validly published,
since it is based on a previously validly published species name,
Pithonella multistrata.
TYPE: Pflaumann and Krasheninnikov, 1978, pl.7, figs.3a-f, as
Pithonella multistrata.
Species:
