"strongyla" (Sarjeant, 1966c, p.201–202, pl.21, fig.5; pl.23, fig.5; text-fig.52) Below, 1990, p.65.  Holotype: Sarjeant, 1966c, pl.21, fig.5; pl.23, fig.5.  Originally Paranetrelytron, subsequently PareodiniaTaxonomic senior synonym: Pareodinia ceratophora, according to Wiggins (1975, p.103).  Sarjeant (1966c) cited the epithet as "strongylos", the Greek adjective for "rounded".  Since Principle 5 of the I.C.N. states that taxon names are to be treated as Latin, this epithet should be rendered as "strongyla" in agreement with the feminine gender of the generic name ("strongylum" would be the neuter form, and "strongylus" the masculine form).  Age: early Barremian.
