ORIG DESCRIPTION* Spores monoporate, dicellate, smooth. Cells of unequal size and shape, one cell much smaller than the other. Larger cell dark brown, robust, spherical to ovoid; smaller cell light brown to hyaline, spherical to dome-shaped, porate. Cell wall slightly thicker in large cell than in small cell. Spore wall constricted and thickened at the septum. Septum centrally porate. Pore in the small cell simple. Diameters: large cell 12.5 x 20 µm, small cell 5-10 µm.
COMMENTS* This species differs from Didymoporisporonites psilatus Sheffy & Dilcher 1971 and D. inaequalis Sheffy & Dilcher 1971 in being larger, in the shape of both large and small cells, and in having proportionally thinner walls.

Etymology: From the Latin, discors, different, referring to the unequal cells.

K&J REMARKS The original spelling discordis of the specific epithet is here adjusted to discors, as grammatically the genitive case of an adjective is not applicable in the context used (Art. 60.11, 32.6, 23.5).
