Abstract
Reyre (1973) erected the monospecific genus Cupressacites Reyre (1973: 156) for a Middle Jurassic fossil gymnosperm pollen, Cupressacites oxycedroides Reyre (1973: 157), from the southern Tunisia. This genus was included within the informal pollen group Inaperturatae. Thus, Cupressacites oxycedroides Reyre (1973: 157) collected in the strata of Callovian-Kimmeridgian age was the type species by monotypy.
