Prymnesium is a genus of haptophytes, including the species Prymnesium parvum.^[2] The genus is a unicellular motile alga. It is ellipsoidal in shape one flagellum is straight and there are two longer ones which enable movement.^[3]

The name Latinizes the Greek prymnēsion ‘cable (for mooring)’,^[4]^[5] from prymna ‘stern’, from prymnos ‘hindmost’.^[6]^{[self-published source]}

Prymnesium was likely first recognized and drawn (although not named as such) on July 1, 1920,^[7] and then (seemingly independently) officially named shortly afterwards on July 6, 1920.^[8]
