| Comments | Type by original designation. Morpho-genus. Near Lyradiscus. Fossil (early Oligocene to Recent). Type species recent. This genus occurs from the Oligocene to the Recent. The type material of V. chinchae is Peru Guano (Recent), however, and the nomenclature rules for this genus name should then be that of recent algae. The name may thus be invalid for the lack of a Latin diagnosis |
