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)
.
