| Comments | Type by monotypy. Later homonym of Pleurodiscus Lagerheim 1895; synonym (substitute name): Pleurodiscina Silva 1970. The name Pleurodiscus pantocsekii is illegitimate, legitimate name is Stephanopyxis delectabilis Pantocsek (Barker & Meakin, p. 253, wrote:"A similar form from Ananino, having 46 segments, has been erroneously recorded by Pantocsek (1889) as a Stephanopyxis (Stephanopyxis delectablilis Pant). This priority is acknowledged in the specific name". |
