Lepidostrobus is a genus that was established by Brongniart for Palaeozoic lycopod cones. Since then the genus has been used for a variety of cones that have similar characters. There is now compelling evidence that the genus represents a heterogeneous group of monosporangiate and bisporangiate cone species and that it should be divided. Lepidostrobus is rediagnosed as a genus of microsporangiate cones. Ftemingites Carruthers is rediagnosed as a genus of those bisporangiate cones formerly included in Lepidostrobus.
