Rotapedina Lambert & Thiery, 1914, p. 274

Name gender feminine
Classification and/or Status Proposed as a replacement name for Micropyga Agassiz, 1879, in the mistaken belief that it was preoccupied by Micropyge Hawle Corda 1847, p. 21 (a trilobite). The spelling is different enough to make Agassiz's genus valid.
