"deflandrei" (Kamptner, 1956, p.448–455, figs.1–4) Kohring, 1993a, p.30.  Holotype: Kamptner, 1956, fig.1.  NOW Fuetterella.  Originally Thoracosphaera, subsequently Orthopithonella, thirdly (and now) Fuettererella.  This combination was not validly published in Keupp (1992a, p.499), since that author did not fully reference the basionym.  Taxonomic junior synonyms: Thoracosphaera (now Orthopithonella) johnstonei and Orthopithonella? minuta, according to Kohring (1993a, p.30) — however, Streng et al. (2004, p.482) retained Pithonella (as Pirumella) johnstonei and Orthopithonella? minuta.  Age: Eocene.
