Genus Podocarpidites Cookson, 1947b emend. Potonié, 1958

Type: Podocarpidites ellipticus Cookson, 1947b ; Tertiary , Waterfall Gorge, Kerguelen Islands .

Remarks.— Podocarpidites was proposed by Cookson (1947b: 131) who did not selected a type species, which was first done by Couper (1953: 35). However, before 1958 proposing a genus name without indicating the type species did not invalidate the publication (ICN, Art. 40.1), so the spelling “ Podocarpidites Cookson ex Couper ” (e.g., Couper 1953: 35) is incorrect. Couper (1953) and Potonié (1958) emended the diagnosis.
