Taxonomic remark Interpreted as a fungus by P.H. Smith & W.G. Chaloner, 1979. (Index Nominum Genericorum). From Saxena et al., 2021: Smith & Chaloner (1979) opined that Piriurella is a conidium of an Alternaria-like taxon. Elsik (1992) accepted similarity of Piriurella to Alternaria and commented that the name has priority only if a form genus was created, i.e. if it is a fossil form and not a modern contaminant. As Piriurella is considered to include fossil fungal spores with an affinity to modern Alternaria, Kalgutkar & Sigler (1995) described their Alternaria-type conidia under Piriurella. Kalgutkar & Jansonius (2000) transferred the type species, P. elongatus, to Pluricellaesporites (as P. cooksoniae Kalgutkar & Janson. 2000) making Piriurella a later synonym of Pluricellaesporites Hammen 1954.
