Nomenclatural note
According to De Clerck (2003), this is a name which appeared on a printed label of a distribution set of algae and which may be interpreted as the valid basionym of Striaria attenuata P. Crouan & H. Crouan (1867: 168). If considered validly published, then D. atennuata Kützing becomes illegitimate. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
