Revaluation of the Samaropsis mendesii Rigby, 1972 from Paraná Basin lower Permian
This paper suggests an emendation to the diagnosis of Samaropsis mendesii Rigby, 1972 (Rio Bonito Formation, Santa Catarina State, Paraná Basin) on the basis of which the Samaropsis gigas Marques-de-Souza et Iannuzzi 2007 comes to be considered a junior synonym of this species.

| description | This paper suggests an emendation to the diagnosis of Samaropsis mendesii Rigby, 1972 (Rio Bonito Formation, Santa Catarina State, Paraná Basin) on the basis of which the Samaropsis gigas Marques-de-Souza et Iannuzzi 2007 comes to be considered a junior synonym of this species. Adding the specimens previously considered as S. gigas from the Rio Grande do Sul State, the stratigraphic range of S. mendesii is extended to the uppermost portion of the Itararé Group. Also, we provide a comparative analysis with the closest Indian species Otofeista milleri (Feistmantel) Pant et al. (1985) (Karharbari beds). The comparison of the S. mendesii with the Indian material pointed to a strong morphometric correspondence between both, highlighting the potentiality of the use of this seed form in stratigraphic correlations due to the peculiarity of the morphology and the abundance of these seeds in Cisuralian (Sakmarian-Artinskian) strata of Gondwana. |
