SPECIES, AUTHORITY D. aequabilis Kalgutkar 1993, p. 74, pl. 4.2, fig. 2.
LOCATION Peel River, Yukon Territory, Canada.
ORIG DESCRIPTION* Spores multicellular, psilate, brown, linear-lanceolate, nine- to thirteen-celled. Central cells slightly broader than end cells. Spores brown or mid-brown except for two smaller terminal hyaline cells subtending simple, incurved pores. Spore wall smooth, thin, two-layered and slightly incurved at the septa; septa thick, straight, with septal flaps and pores; septation regularly even, dividing the spore into roughly symmetrical cells. Spore size 40-75 x 10-13 µm.
COMMENTS* Diporicellaesporites aequabilis is distinguished from D. pluricellus Kar & Saxena 1976 by its narrow slender spores, compared to the generally broad spores in the latter.

Etymology: From the Latin, aequabilis, equal, referring to spores with symmetrical cells.
