The genus Ampullaster Jankowski, 1976, was proposed for the single species Pyxidium stammeri Lust, 1950, but also in abstracts (Jankowski 1976) and full text is unavailable (personal communication from Dr. Igor Dovgal).

Here we also need to mention Orbopercularia matthesi Lust, 1950, which was marked as a type species of the genus Thysanotheca by Jankowski (1976) in an abstract of a conference, hence the generic name is unapplicable. Jankowski (2007) redescribed the genus Thysanotheca, but without marking ’gen. n.’, hence the name is unapplicable too (personal communication from Dr. Igor Dovgal).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03ED87D69C54EB6399D8F953FBD30760	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
