Abstract

The epidermal structure of Noeggerathiopsis indica sp. nov. N. gondwanesis sp. nov. and N. zeilleri sp. nov. is described. The material was collected from the Ganjra Nalla beds of South Rewa basin and from the Karharbari beds of the Giridih Coalfield. Cuticles hitherto described under N. hislopi have been revised and reallocated in the light of the present findings with some observation on the genus.
