Abstract

Ptilophyllum rewaensis n. sp., Ptilophyllum sp. cf. P. horridum Roy and Ptilophyllum sp. are described from the Lower Cretaceous of Bansa, Madhya Pradesh. In addition, a classification based on morphological and epidermal characters of most of the Ptilophyllums known from India and other countries is also prepared. In all 24 species are considered here - Argentina 1 (P. longipinnatum), Egypt 1 (P. khargaense), India 14, Italy 1 (P. triangulare), U.K 3 (P. hirsutum, P. pecten, P. pectinoides) and U.S.S.R. 4 (P. caucasicum, P. okribense, P. sokalense, P. ukrainense).
