*ovalis (Kaufmann in Heer, 1865, p.196-197, figs.107a-b) Lorenz, 1902, p.46. Holotype: not designated. Originally Lagena (Appendix A), subsequently (and now) Pithonella, thirdly Fissurina (Appendix A). Colom (1955, p.121) retained this species in Pithonella. Taxonomic junior synonym: Lagena (now Pithonella) sphaerica, according to Lorenz (1902, p.46) - however, Bonet (1956, p.450) retained Lagena (as Stomiosphaera) sphaerica. Age: late Cenomanian-Turonian (based on later studies by Bolli - P. Hochuli, personal communication).
Parent: Pithonella
