          Abstract

          Botrychiopsis has been considered an important floristic element of Westphalian/Artinskian associations of the Paraná Basin. The occurrence of Botrychiopsis in roof-shales of the Rio Bonito Formation in Southern Paraná Basin (Quitéria area), supported by the identification of Botrychiopsis valida, enlarges the genus biochron. Consequently, the stratigraphic hierarchy for Botrychiopsis plantiana and Botrychiopsis valida was defined for the Paraná Basin. Although it is climatically controlled and related to a deglaciation icehouse stage, stratigraphic distribution of the genus presents a substantial climate tolerance, from cold/cool to warm/temperate conditions. A new phytostratigraphic zonation is proposed for the southern portion of the basin that includes the Botrychiopsis Zone (Asselian/Kungurian), which is subdivided into the Botrychiopsis plantiana (Asselian/Artinskian) and Botrychiopsis valida (Late Artinskian/Kungurian) subzones.

          O gênero Botrychiopsis tem sido considerado um elemento florístico importante das associações do intervalo Westphaliano/Artinskiano da Bacia do Paraná. O registro de formas relacionadas ao gênero Botrychiopsis, especificamente Botrychiopsis valida, em roof-shales na área de Quitéria, Formação Rio Bonito, no sul da Bacia do Paraná amplia o biocron do gênero, definindo uma hierarquia estratigráfica para as espécies Botrychiopsis plantiana e Botrychiopsis valida para esta bacia. A distribuição estratigráfica do gênero está condicionada a controle climático relacionado a um ciclo de deglaciação em estágio icehouse, com espectro de tolerância climática abrangente, desde condições climáticas do tipo frio até temperado/ quente. É proposto um novo zoneamento fitoestratigráfico para essa porção da bacia, incluindo uma Zona Botrychiopsis (Asseliano/Kunguriano) com duas sub-zonas Botrychiopsis plantiana (Asseliano/Artinskiano) e Botrychiopsis valida (topo do Artinskiano/Kunguriano).
