PLEUROZONARIA Wetzel, 1933b, p.29.  Prasinophyte genus (although Elbrächter et al., 2008, p.1301 listed this as a questionable calcareous dinoflagellate genus).  Taxonomic senior synonyms: Pithonella, according to Foucher and Taugourdeau-Lantz (1975, p.1677–1679); Tasmanites (Appendix A), by implication in Morgenroth (1966a, p.41–42) who transferred the "type species" of Pleurozonaria, Pleurozonaria globulus, to Tasmanites — however, Fensome et al. (1990, p.395) retained Pleurozonaria.  Taxonomic junior synonym: Crassosphaera Cookson and Manum, 1960, a prasinophyte genus, according to Mädler (1963, p.328) — however, Fensome et al. (1990, p.159) retained Crassosphaera.  Type: Wetzel, 1933b, pl.4, fig.12, as Pleurozonaria globulus.
