<i>Tenuitellita</i> Li, 1987 (type species <i>Globigerinita iota</i> Parker, 1962) is a validly established genus, despite the fact that the same type species has been selected for another previously proposed genus. The earlier proposed genus, <i>Parkerina</i> Fordham, 1986, is invalid as it does not conform to the Articles of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, and thus cannot compete on the Principle of Priority.
