ABSTRACT
Comptonia comptoniifolia (Brongn.) Doweld, comb. nov., based on the recently rediscovered Phyllites
comptoniifolius Brongn., is reinstated based upon priority as the earliest validly published species name in place
of the previously incorrectly used C. acutiloba Brongn. and C. difformis (Sternb.) E.W. Berry (Aspleniopteris difformis
Sternb.; Asplenium difforme Sternb. non R. Br.). Comptonia japonica Krysht. is shown to be the earliest
validly published name instead of the previously widely accepted Comptoniphyllum naumannii Nath. A new genus,
Paracomptonia gen. nov., is proposed instead of the previously invalidly published Dryandrophyllum Velen., being
based on the formerly segregated Comptonia subg. Avushia Zhilin, with transference of two Cretaceous Dryandra
species, D. cretacea, and D. yakovlevii, and one Palaeogene species, D. schrankii, into Paracomptonia. The aberrant
fossil species of Western Siberian Comptonia, based on fruit endocarps with a superficial resemblance to the extant
genus, are reclassified and transferred into the recircumscribed and amplified distinct fossil genus Carpinicarpus,
which is reinstated as a validly published genus instead of the anomalous Comptonia section †Comptoniella
P.I. Dorof.: Carpinicarpus debilis (V.P. Nikit.) Doweld, comb. nov., C. dorofeevii (V.P. Nikit.) Doweld, comb. nov.,
C. gorbunovii (P.I. Dorof.) Doweld, comb. nov., and C. tymensis (P.I. Dorof.) Doweld, comb. nov. Comptonia japonica
is neotypified; Paracomptonia cretacea (Velen.) Doweld comb. nov., P. yakovlevii (Palib.) Doweld, comb. nov. and
P. schrankii (Sternb.) Doweld, comb. nov. are lectotypified for the first time.
