Pfendericonus mindanaoensis Matsumaru, 2017 from the Thanetian? of the Philippine Archipelago and Pfendericonus globulus Sirel & Deceviler (in Sirel et al. 2020) from the Priabonian of Turkey display the same internal structure, similar dimensions and both are characterized by possessing wedge-like adult chambers. These species are thus considered synonymous and therefore based on priority date of publication, P. globulus should be considered a subjective junior synonym of P. mindanaoensis.
