SPECIES, AUTHORITY H. vittatoides Elsik 1990a, p. 158.
LOCATION Imperial Nuktak C-22 well, Mackenzie River delta, District of Mackenzie, Northwest Territories, Canada.
ORIG DESCRIPTION* Aseptate, psilate fungal spores ca. 12-14 x 24-26 µm overall. Outline elliptical in a fusiform fashion due to the pointed to sharply rounded ends. The furrow is schizoid, almost completely traversing the spore except for one end. The spore wall is 0.5-0.75 µm thick.
COMMENTS* Hypoxylonites vittatoides is more robust, i.e. shorter than H. eocenicus. The spores are shorter than those of H. vittatus (Sheffy & Dilcher 1971).

Derivation: Named for resemblance to Hypoxylonites vittatus (Sheffy & Dilcher 1971).
