Abstract

The occurrence of Rouseisporites Pocock and its potential usefulness in dating the Jabalpur Series of India has been discussed in detail by Singh (1966). In the present paper, 4 new species have been assigned to the genus Rouseisporites Pocock. The flask-shaped to conical invagination of the zona in each radial region of the spore, as reported by its original author, has been found to be useful in the identification of Rouseisporites.
