Caryapollenites inelegans was named by Nichols and Ott (1978) [Location of holotype specimen on slide is indicated following the method described by Traverse, 1958, Locating plant microfossils on mixed slides: Micropaleontology, v. 4, n. 2, p. 207-208, fig. 1. Repository for slides: Palynological slide collection of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., Central Region, Denver, Colorado.]. It is considered to be a form taxon. Its type specimen is Slide PR-2-1 (10.7R, 17.5D); Plate 2, Figure 7, a microspore, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is PR-2, which is in a Paleocene terrestrial siliciclastic in the Fort Union Formation of Wyoming.
