Taxonomy Foster (1971) created Apoprionospio for P. dayi & P. pygmaeus. These may represent a clade but for a period were not regarded as a generic level group (Sigvaldadottir, 1998). Later Blake et al 2019 re-validated Apoprionospio because of the plate-like pinnules on one pair of branchiae. [details]
