Nomenclatural note
"it seems appropriate to use the generic name Ulnaria for the group of diatoms previously typified by S[ynedra] ulna and to use Synedra for the group of diatoms typified by S. gaillonii, rendering the generic name Catacombas a later homonym." Williams (2011: 152) - (15 December 2015) - G.M. Guiry
