Orthopithonella Keupp in Keupp and Mutterlose, 1984, p.158.
EMENDATION: Keupp and Versteegh, 1989, p.210. SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic junior synonym: Stomiosphaera (name not validly published), by implication in Reháková and Michalík (1996, p.93), who believed Stomiosphaera to be the senior name. COMMENTS: Calcareous dinoflagellate genus. Although in proposing this genus Keupp in Keupp and Mutterlose (1984, p.158), did not validly transfer the "type species" to Orthopithonella, the generic name was still valid since it was based on a pre-existing species name. TYPE: Bolli, 1974, pl.3, fig.9; pl.12, fig.9; pl.22, fig.3, as Pithonella gustafsonii.
