Now Pterodinium. Originally Cymatiosphaera, subsequently Hystrichosphaera, thirdly Spiniferites, fourthly Spiniferites?, fifthly (and now) Pterodinium.
Stover and Evitt, 1978, considered this to be a provisionally accepted species of Spiniferites.
Taxonomic junior synonym: Cymatiosphaera (as Spiniferites?) pterota, according to Below (1981a, p.114) — however, Pavlishina (1990, p.95) retained Cymatiosphaera (now Pterodinium?) pterota.
Holotype: O. Wetzel, 1933, pl.4, fig.10
Age: Senonian
