I think the correct spelling is Pyrulofusus. Mörch named it after its
pearlike shape (normally such names are pyrum, pyru-).
Bogdanov & Sirenko 1993 also use Pyrulofusus.
But definitive will be Mörch's own works... how does he spell it? If
he made a mistake (or the printers inserted a typo, as happened when
aluminum was published in England, was it later properly emended?
