| Classification and/or Status | pro Paleopneustes A. Agassiz, 1873. |
| Remarks | Mortensen\'s (1950: p. 189, footnote) also emended Agassiz\'s original spelling "Paleopneustes" to "Palaeopneustes". While grammatically sound, this action is considered an unjustified emendation according to ICZN regulations (Art. 32.2.3.). Duncan, P. M. 1889.
