| T. Van der Hammen and C. Garcia de Mutis 1966 | Tricolpate, tectum perforate. Exine, except the perforations of the tectum, psilate. Columellae very big. The perforations of the tectum are very large in the polar area (up to 5.5 μ diameter), and much smaller towards the equator (±0.5 μ). Colpi relatively short, and polar are relatively large. Thickness of the exine ±3 μ, ektexine ±1.5 μ. Subspheroidal shape. Size ±45-55 μ. Has been found in the Zones A and B of the Paleocene. |
