SPECIES, AUTHORITY H. ovatus (Ke & Shi) Kalgutkar & Jansonius 2000
LOCATION Tanggu, Tianjin Municipality; Kenli, Shandong Province, Coastal region of Bohai, China.
ORIG DESCRIPTION* Spores 16.5-17.4 x 8.7-9 µm. Outline ovate. Two-celled, cells of unequal size. Monoporate, pore 1 µm in diameter, situated at end of larger cell. Septum hyaline. Spore wall 1.2 µm thick. Surface psilate.
COMMENTS* This species is fairly similar to Didymoporisporonites normalis Sheffy & Dilcher 1971 (pl. 13, fig. 36). Spores in this species differ, however, in that they are not constricted at the septum, their cells are larger, and so on.
