Status Gu & Gu (1999) stated that Gao et al. (1994, "Cretaceous Petroleum Bearing Strata in the Songliao Basin") changed the name Protelliptio songhuaensis to Plesielliptio sungarianus. However, the reason for this emendation is unclear, since we are not aware of any homonymy issues. (The only homonymy of species with that epithet exists between Pseudohyria songhuaensis (Z.-W. Gu, 1976) and Pseudohyria songhuaensis Z.-W. Gu & J.-S. Yu, 1976, but these taxa are in different genera and even a different family.) [details]
