Taxonomic remark From Dong et al., 2009: Paracymatiosphaera was described as having an outer envelope (Wang, 1985). However, the type species P. regularis Wang, 1985 clearly does not have an outer envelope (Wang, 1985, fig. 3.5, 3.9, 3.10). The presence of an apparent outer envelope in the three other species of Paracymatiosphaera described in Wang (1985)—P. irregularis Wang, 1985, P. annularis Wang, 1985, and P. hunanensis Wang, 1985—is questionable and is likely a degradational artifact (Yao et al., 2005). Thus, it is likely all four Paracymatiosphaera species should be transferred to the genus Comasphaeridium; indeed, Yao et al. (2005) synonymized them under the combination Comasphaeridium annulare (Wang, 1985) Yao et al., 2005. [details]
