Abstract

The taxonomy and morphological concept of the stratigraphically important species Verrucosisporites nitidus are redefined. The Russian Frasnian miospore species Lophotriletes grumosus is no longer considered synonymous with V. nitidus. The morphology of several similar Late Devonian and Early Carboniferous miospore species are described and compared. It has been established that V. nitidus, V. congestus and V. depressus can only be differentiated on the basis of maximum size of verrucae. The stratigraphical distribution of these species and their zonal value is described and evaluated.
