| Comments | Type by monotypy. One species is described, P. mirabilis, another species is mentioned in the Russian text: P. circularis Jousé (nomen nudum, no description provided). The 2 species are illustrated pl. 1, fig. 9, 10, respectively, and no type is designated by the original author. Poretzkia mirabilis is the type by monotypy (the other species not being validly published). The genus Poretzkia was also described as new in Jousé 1949, p. 87-88 (ref. 001293), and included 3 species (with descriptions p. 88 and illustrations pl. 32), P. mirabilis, P. ovalis and P. circularis, but no type was designated. It was speculated from A. Gladenkov (pers. com., 1997) that ref. 000547 was published before ref. 001293. Jousé 1963 (ref. 001296), p. 117, stated that the type of the genus is P. mirabilis. Strelnikova 1974 (ref. 000058), p. 117, noted that "the separate valves described as the genera Poretzkia Jousé and Pseudoaulacodiscus Veshkina are the epitheca and hypotheca of some large specimens of Goniothecium odontella Ehr." |
