Nomenclatural note
"The genus name was intentionally published invalidly under the rules of the ICBN, Article 34.1. by addition of the term 'prov.' (i.e. provisionally) [in in Rumrich et al. (2000), Iconographia Diatomologica 9, p. 228-229]. Now the genus description is accepted by the authors as justified by the given criteria. Arguments for merging it in Adlafia Moser, Lange-Bertalot & Metzeltin 1998 have not been substantiated in the past." (Metzeltin & Lange-Bertalot 2007: 256). - (29 May 2019) - M.D. Guiry
