Taxonomic remark Schizopteris may pre-date Aphlebia K.B. Presl, in current use; a proposal to conserve Aphlebia against Schizopteris was submitted by Doweld, 2014, however this proposal was not accepted by the Nomenclature Committee on Fossils (Herendeen, 2016) who stated: It is not correct that Schizopteris is no longer in use. Also there is a question as to whether Schizopteris and Aphlebia are taxonomic synonyms. In the view of the committee a proper taxonomic study is needed before any conservation decision is made.
