Parvimonas Tindall and Euzéby 2006, gen. nov.
Type species: ¤ Parvimonas micra (Prévot 1933) Tindall and Euzéby 2006.
Illegitimate synonym: Micromonas Murdoch and Shah 2000.

Reference: TINDALL (B.J.) and EUZÉBY (J.P.): Proposal of Parvimonas gen. nov. and Quatrionicoccus gen. nov. as replacements for the illegitimate, prokaryotic, generic names Micromonas Murdoch and Shah 2000 and Quadricoccus Maszenan et al. 2002, respectively.

Note: The name ¤ Micromonas Murdoch and Shah 2000 is illegitimate because of precedence of the algal genus name, Micromonas I. Manton and M. Parke 1960 [Rule 51b(4)]. Consequently, a new genus designation Parvimonas has been proposed by Tindall and Euzéby 2006.
