Pithonella ovalis (Kaufmann in Heer, 1865, p.196–197, figs.107a–b) Lorenz, 1902, p.46. Emendation: Wendler et al., 2013, p.1101–1102 as a "Diagnosis", implied to be an emendation on their p.1104.

Originally Lagena, subsequently (and now) Pithonella, thirdly Fissurina. Colom (1955, p.121) retained this species in Pithonella.
Taxonomic junior synonym: Lagena (now Pithonella) sphaerica, according to Lorenz (1902, p.46) — however, Bonet (1956, p.450) and Wendler et al. (2013, p.1098) retained Lagena (as Stomiosphaera) sphaerica. Wendler et al. (2013, p.1101) cited this combination as new.

Holotype: not designated. Neotype: Wendler et al., 2013, fig.9, no.2; fig.17.
Age: late Cenomanian–Turonian (based on later studies by Bolli — P. Hochuli, personal communication).
