Taxonomic remark From Herendeen, 2021: Schimper recognized a single species within Glyptolepis, G. keuperiana, and included four validly published names based on stems under G. keuperiana, Pinites keuperianus Unger (≡ Araucarites keuperianus (Unger) Göpp. ≡ Dadoxylon keuperianum (Unger) Endl.) and Voltzia coburgensis Schauroth. Schimper adopted the epithet of the earliest of these names, but he published the name as “Glyptolepis keuperiana Sch.” without any parenthetical author citation as would have been expected had he intended it to be based on Pinites keuperianus Unger. Nevertheless, G. keuperiana must be considered to be based on P. keuperianus and to be typified by the type of that name. ... Two different new combinations based on P. keuperianus Unger were published simultaneously, one for cones placed in the family “Voltzieae”, and the other for wood that Schimper considered belonged in the Gnetaceae. Both epithets have continued in current use for two entirely different groups of fossils. That applied to fossil woods is generally known today as Pagiophyllites keuperianus (Unger) Tuzson or Agathoxylon keuperianum (Unger) Marc Phillippe and includes Unger’s original material as type. The name applied to fossil cones of the Voltziopsida retains the name given by Schimper, Glyptolepis keuperiana, but without clear exclusion of the fossil wood. The proposal asserts the best solution is to separate Glyptolepis keuperiana from its implied basionym, Pinites keuperianus Unger, and conserve the name, attributed to Schimper alone, with a new conserved type that reflects its current usage as a generic name that is applicable to these fossil cone species. ... A majority of the Committee agreed that conservation is appropriate for Glyptolepis, which is an important group of fossil conifers, and voted to support this proposal with a 94% majority. [details]
