Summary Considerable confusion has arisen over the validity and content of the genera Zonalapollenites and Tsugaepollenites. The problem is discussed and it is concluded that the latter generic name is junior synonym of the former. Since no type species was proposed for Zonalapollenites it is proposed that Zonalapollenites igniculus Potonié ex Pflug 1953 be regarded as type species.
