Pirumella Bolli, 1980, p.528.
SYNONYM(S): Taxonomic senior synonym:
Pithonella,
by implication in
Keupp (1981,
p.44),
who considered the "type species"
of
Pirumella,
Pirumella edithvincentiae,
to be a taxonomic junior synonym of
Pithonella
(now
Pirumella)
thayeri
- however,
Lentin and Williams (1993,
p.577) retained
Pirumella.
Taxonomic junior synonym:
Obliquipithonella,
by implication in
Lentin and Williams (1985,
p.383),
who illegitimately 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.
TYPE: Bolli, 1980, pl.4, figs.1-2, as
Pirumella edithvincentiae.
