BONETOCARDIELLA Dufour, 1968, p.1948.  Emendations: Villain, 1975, p.196; Masters and Scott, 1978, p.215.  Calcareous dinoflagellate genus (see Kienel, 1994, p.53 and Elbrächter et al., 2008, p.1298, the latter noting that the cyst wall is pithonelloid and so dinoflagellate affinity is questionable).  Taxonomic junior synonym: Bonetiella (name illegitimate), provisionally according to Elbrächter et al. (2008, p.1289).  Nomenclatural junior synonym: Conejoconus, which has the same proposed type (see also Villain, 1975, p.196).  Fensome and Williams (2004) considered this generic name to be not validly published because it lacked a type.  However, as it was published under the I.C.Z.N., Elbrächter et al. (2008, p.1289) implied that it can be considered validly published.  Type: not designated; "type species" — Stomiosphaera conoidea.
