Solid exinal projections extending from the equatorial margin range from conical horns to bulbous hemispherical knobs or club-shaped outgrowths. Less frequently, the projections are arranged in rows, forming irregular wings. Rarely, one or more processes are situated in the centre. The exine is equatorially thickened, polar areas variously sculptured (i.e., verrucate). The surface of thickenings and projections is smooth. Germinal apparatus was not ascertained, possibly colpate (?).</p><p>R e m a r k s: The genus is characterized by irregular development of appendages and by short radial ribs and other columellar elements on the equatorial margin. Variations in shape and sculpture such as folded down solid exinal projections, may be attributable to different stages of maturity of the grain (Pl. 1, figs. 9, 10).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A4754AFFE5C129A278F8C8FB23FCB1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Institute of Geology ASCR, v.v.i., Prague, Czech Republic; No. SV 10.</p><p>Type locality and horizon: Borehole V-134, Unit G, depth 151.5 m, Spešov near Blansko; Peruc-Korycany Formation, Blansko Graben, Cenomanian</p><p>Description: Outline variable: circular, trilobate, triangular with shallow interradial depressions, rarely ellipsoidal, oval or polygonal with rounded apices.</p><p>Surface psilate, granulate or with irregularly distributed flat verrucae.</p><p>Body encircled in places by a narrow equatorial zone, which is indicated on the body by short parallel columns. Columns gradually change from short finger-like thickenings to more massive jointed (moniliform) elements.</p><p>Solid exinal extensions of variable size and shape: bulbous, horn-like or knob-like, resemble elaters. Larger projections are usually perpendicular to the polar axis, slightly curved or hooked to the base. Distal terminations of processes are rounded, blunt or occasionally widened. Surface of extensions smooth. Small circular pits can be present in widened areas. In places, projections are developed in rows or piled up, forming fan-like wings. Polar projections may be present. Distribution of outgrowths tends to be symmetrical, with main projections in three corners and less conspicuous ones in the spaces between.</p><p>In places, the exine is differentiated into two or three poorly defined layers.</p><p>Germinal apparatus is not clearly developed, however, the presence of a colpus cannot be excluded. Irregular meridional ruptures were observed on some specimens.</p><p>D i m e n s i o n s: (12 specimens measured): length of body 30 (35) 40 µm; width 25 (30) 38 µm; maximum length of processes 3-22 µm, width of processes 3-10 µm, exine thickness 1,5-5 µm</p><p>I l l u s t r a t i o n s: Pl.1, figs 1-16.</p><p>G e o g r a p h i c d i s t r i b u t i o n: Moravia, Bohemian Cretaceous Basin.</p><p>M a t e r i a l: 12 specimens.</p><p>R e m a r k s: Most of the elaterate pollen grains are distinguished by a smooth exine (i.e., Alaticolpites, Elateroplicites, Galeacornea, and Sofrepites) and the presence of colpi. Elaters are generally developed more conspicuously, their length can exceedthe width of the body several times.</p><p>The species which is most similar to the forms described here is Elaterosporites verrucatus (JARDINÉ et MAGLOIRE) JARDINÉ 1967, illustrated in Dino et al. (1999, pl. 5, fig. 2). Spoon and club-shaped processes resemble Elaterocolpites castelainii JARDINÉ et MAGLOIRE 1965 which differs in uniform processes and exinal surface. A low number of projections and a similar columnar exinal differentiation in the equatorial area connect the described form with the species Galeacornea clavis Stover 1963 .</p><p>Spesovicornea pacltovae differs in its remarkably irregular shape, size and position of exinal elater-like adaptations. Scupture on the surface in the central area is less prominent than in Elaterosporites verrucatus (JARDINÉ et MAGLOIRE) JARDINÉ 1967 and Elaterosporites spicatus (STOVER) JARDINÉ 1967 .</p><p>Botanical affinity</p><p>Botanical affinity unclear, possible gnetalean nature is often suggested for the elaterate forms (Herngreen 1974; Dino et al. 1999).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A4754AFFE5C12AA0DFFCFBFBC6FCAB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
