Taxonomic remark Normalised from Reticulata-sporites. Proposed by Doweld, 2018 as a rejected name vs. Vestispora L.R. Wilson & W.S. Hoffmeister, 1956, although listed as an accepted genus in Saxena et al., 2021, Doweld's proposal was recommended for acceptance by the Nomenclature Committee for Fossils (Herendeen, 2020). Not Reticulatisporites (original spelling: Reticulati-sporites) Ibrahim, 1933, a different taxon. Genus contains both pteritophyte and fungal spores. From Saxena et al., 2021: the type species, R. facetus Ibrahim 1933, is a fossil pteridophytic spore and the other two fungal spore species [R. argentinus and R. cacheutensis] have been transferred to Inapertisporites Hammen 1954. From Herendeen, 2020: The genus Reticulatasporites Ibrahim was created in 1933 for fossil alete, reticulate microspores. However, it was subsequently demonstrated that these anomalous microfossil spore-like remnants are merely detached operculate processes of corroded spores, the normal form of which was described in 1956 as the genus Vestispora L.R. Wilson & W.S. Hoffmeister. [details]
