Sen Memorial Volume: 49–50. 1969 – Type : C. alienus Sat.K.Srivast. Comments on the genus. – Srivastava (1969) erected Coriaripites to include brevitricolporate pollen grains similar to those of extant Coriaria . Even though the presence of a fastigium and tetracolporate aperture type were not mentioned in the diagnosis of Coriaripites , we provisionally place our fossil pollen grains in this taxon because they exhibit most of its morphological features. The only genera similar to Coriaripites are Sohlipollis , defined by Christopher & al. (1999) to include brevicolporate, oblate pollen grains with well-defined colpi costae, and Porocolpopollenites , defined by Thomson & Pflug (1953) to accommodate tricolporate, vestibulate, and smooth pollen grains. According to Potonié, the latter is an earlier synonym of Symplocoipollentites Potonié (1951) .
