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.
