SPECIES, AUTHORITY H. indicus (Chandra et al.) Kalgutkar & Jansonius 2000
LOCATION Cores from the Arabian Sea, type locality Core no. 1.
ORIG DESCRIPTION* Spindle-shaped fungal spore, size 35 x 15 µm; dicellate, both cells almost equal in size, uniseptate; monoporate, pore on the apex of one cell, pore margin not thickened, wall 0.5 µm thick, punctate.
COMMENTS* Didymoporisporonites normalis Sheffy & Dilcher 1971 resembles the present species in shape but can be differentiated by its smaller size and psilate spore wall. Didymoporisporonites obtectus Sheffy & Dilcher 1971 is heavily punctate and smaller in size. Didymoporisporonites psilatus and D. inaequalis of Sheffy & Dilcher (1971) differ in having unequal cells, psilate spore wall and smaller size.

K&J REMARKS A lapse at the printshop caused the name of this species to be deleted above its description; the name was, however, given in the plate description. Kalgutkar and Jansonius (2000) consider that the name has been validly published.
