Abstract

The diagnosis of the genus Ancorisporites is emended to include megaspores without cushions on their mesosporia. The new species recorded from the Karharbari Formation is diagnosed by anchor-shaped appendages all over the exosporium and a characteristic mesosporium with numerous cushions trigonally arranged around the triradiate mark.
