Abstract
The generic name Udaria Gupta (1996:103) was established by Gupta (1996) with two fossil fungi species Udaria singhii Gupta (1996:103) and U. saxenae Gupta (1996:104) from Lower Tertiary sediments of Himachal Pradesh, India. Later on, Singh et al. (2018) described the new genus of liverworts, Udaria Singh, Majumdar & Singh (2018: 1537) with the single species Udaria lamellicaulis Singh, Majumdar & Singh (2018: 1537) to the family Lophocoleaceae Vanden Berghen (1956: 208) from Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim in Eastern Himalaya, India. After a thorough scrutiny of literature and type specimens, it was found that the liverwort genus name, Udaria Singh, Majumdar & Singh (2018: 1537) is illegitimate as it is a later homonym of the fossil fungi genus Udaria Gupta (1996:103). Therefore, a new replacement name Pandea U. B. Deshmukh is proposed with a new combination for the type species here in accordance with article 53.1 of Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018).
