Abstract

Three new miospore genera, viz. Callumispora, Brevitriletes and Pseudoreticulatispora have been described from the Barakar Stage (Lower Permian) of Lower Gondwana Formations, India. Callumispora is a thick and intrapunctate exined, spherical, trilete spore with pits and verrucae in the inter-ray area. Brevitriletes is spinose sculptured distally only. Pseudoreticulatispora is a trilete, triangular spore with the exine uniformly pitted and the pit bottoms connected with those adjacent, through canals, giving an overall effect of a reticulate pattern to the exine in low magnifications.
