Request PDFType Species
The type species (holotype) of the genus Lithothamnion is Lithothamnion muelleri Lenormand ex Rosanoff.
Status of Name
The taxonomic or nomenclatural status (or both) of this entity is in some way unresolved and requires further investigation.
Type Information
Type locality: Carpathians:valley of the Orava: Ostrá Skala near Doln [Dolni Kubin]: Kubin (Eocene, Lutetian); (Index Nominum Algarum) Type: Dmitri Andrissov; [not in PC*]; plaque no.4451 (Index Nominum Algarum) Notes: According to Aguirre et al. (2012:321), Lemoine based the protologue primarily on material from the western Carpathian Mountains but also mentioned that the Carpathian material belonged to the same species as material found in Donzacq , Landes, SW France (unpublished). Lemoine did not designate a holotype and thus, nomenclaturally, the Carpathian specimen and the Donzacq specimen are considered syntypes. The Carpathian syntype has not been found in PC* and its whereabouts is unknown. The French syntype has been found in PC but Aguirre et al. have decided not to designate a lectotype because the Carpathian specimen might still be found and the French specimen is very poorly preserved.
