Taxonomic remark Supposed extant representative of the otherwise fossil genus Discoaster, believed to be misclassified (e.g. possible prasinophyte) by Tappan, 1980; Doweld, 2014 identifies it with the planktonic dinoflagellate Rhabdothorax gerenus Kamptner, 1967, a junior synonym of Scrippsiella regalis (previously Rhabdothorax regale) according to Janofske, 2000.
