Taxonomic remark From Saxena et al., 2021: Rouse (1959) incorrectly considered the generic name Inapertisporites Hammen 1954 as not validly published. He stated that “Although a generic diagnosis and type species were not presented (i.e. by Van der Hammen 1954), the name is considered appropriate for reference to fossil spores that appear to be fungal, algal or possibly bryophytic in affiliation, and is therefore conserved.” Actually, Van der Hammen (1954) had validly published the name of this genus with a diagnosis. A type species was not required for valid publication until 1958; Van der Hammen (1955) designated a type species, Inapertisporites variabilis. This is one of three species that Van der Hammen (1954) validly published. Consequently, Rouse (1959) created a later homonym and a taxonomic synonym of Inapertisporites Hammen 1954. [details]
