Taxonomic remark From Saxena et al., 2021: Muller (1959) recorded a characteristic unicellular fungal spore, having several verrucae at the equatorial region, from the Recent shelf sediments of the Orinoco Delta, Venezuela. He, however, did not assign it to any named taxon. Elsik (1976b) illustrated identical spores and informally named it Mediaverrusporonites. Jarzen & Elsik (1986) informally used the name Mediaverrunites to accommodate these spores but they neither proposed it as a genus nor assigned any species to it. ... Nandi & Sinha (2007) were the first to formally describe Mediaverrunites as a genus and designated Mediaverrunites mulleri Nandi & A. Sinha 2007 as its type. Nandi & Sinha (2007), however, considered Jarzen & Elsik (1986) as the author of the genus and proposed an emended diagnosis. We interpret that Nandi & Sinha (2007) were the original author (not the validating author) of Mediaverrunites because earlier authors had no intention of proposing it as a genus nor they assigned it any species. The genus is therefore solely ascribed to Nandi & Sinha 2007 and cited as Mediaverrunites Nandi & A. Sinha 2007 (not Jarzen & Elsik ex Nandi & A. Sinha 2007). [details]
