Bindiferia Borchhardt, Chomérat, Sh. Murray & Hoppenrath gen. nov.
DESCRIPTION: Athecate, dorsoventrally flattened cells with smaller asymmetric epicone in comparison to the hypocone. Cingulum descending. Sulcus reaching the antapex and extending onto the epicone. Red stigma anterior in the epicone, close to the apex. It is likely that an apical structure complex forming an anticlockwise loop around the apex is also a generic feature but this could not be confirmed for the type yet.
ETYMOLOGY: ‘Bindi’ is a traditional decoration in India; a red drop, which is applied in the centre of the forehead and symbolizes an eye; ‘feria’ from Latin verb fero, ferre, to carry, to wear. The genus is feminine in gender.
