SPECIES, AUTHORITY H. siddiquiei (Chandra et al.) Kalgutkar & Jansonius 2000
LOCATION Cores from the Arabian Sea, type locality Core no. 2.
ORIG DESCRIPTION* Oval fungal spores, size 38 x 21 µm, dicellate, closed apex of the spore rounded while the other one conical; uniseptate, septum faint but complete, about 1 µm thick; monoporate, pore margin not thickened, spore wall very thin, hyaline, psilate, finely folded.
COMMENTS* The present species can be differentiated from Didymoporisporonites inaequalis and D. psilatus proposed by Sheffy & Dilcher (1971) in having two cells almost similar in size while in latter species the cells are unequal. Didymoporisporonites indicus differs by its punctate spore wall. Didymoporisporonites normalis and D. obtectus described by Sheffy & Dilcher (1971) have a thick prominent septum in comparison to the faint and thin septum of the present species.

Derivation of name: The present species has been named in honor of Mr. H.N. Siddiquie of the National Institute of Oceanography, Panji, Goa.
