Pirumella

PIRUMELLA Bolli, 1980, p.528.  Emendation: Streng et al., 2009, p.242.  Calcareous dinoflagellate genus (see Streng et al., 2004, p.482–483 and Elbrächter et al., 2008, p.1301).  Taxonomic senior synonym: Pithonella, by implication in Keupp (1981, p.44), who considered the "type species" of Pirumella, Pirumella edithvincentiae, to be a taxonomic junior synonym of Pithonella (now Pirumella) thayeri — however, Lentin and Williams (1993, p.577) retained Pirumella.  Taxonomic junior synonym: Obliquipithonella, according to Streng et al. (2004, p.482), who included the type of Obliquipithonella in Pirumella; see also Fensome and Williams (2004, p.461).  Type: Bolli, 1980, pl.4, figs.1–2, as Pirumella edithvincentiae.
