Obliquipithonella

"OBLIQUIPITHONELLA" Keupp in Keupp and Mutterlose, 1984, p.158.  Calcareous dinoflagellate genus.  Taxonomic senior synonym: Pirumella, by implication in Lentin and Williams (1985, p.383), who, on the basis of proposals by Keupp (1981) and Keupp and Mutterlose (1984), included the "type species" of Pirumella, Pirumella edithvincentiae (as a taxonomic junior synonym of Obliquipithonella thayeri), in Obliquipithonella.  Although many authors have retained Obliquipithonella (e.g. Kienel, 1994, p.42), all apparently continue to include Pirumella edithvincentiae in synonymy with Obliquipithonella thayeri (e.g. Kohring, 1993a, p.79).  Following this taxonomic synonymy, Obliquipithonella must continue to be considered a taxonomic junior synonym of Pirumella.  Although the "type species", Obliquipithonella multistrata, was not validly transferred to Obliquipithonella by Keupp in Keupp and Mutterlose (1984, p.158), the generic name Obliquipithonella was validly published, since it is based on a previously validly published species name, Pithonella multistrata.  Type: Pflaumann and Krasheninnikov, 1978, pl.7, figs.3a-f, as Pithonella multistrata.
