Nomenclatural note
According to Andersen et al. (2017: 602), invalidly introduced by Péterfi (1969: 100), but according to INA "It has been argued that because the page of the basionym was not cited valid publication was not effected; however, the page range of Pringsheim's paper was cited in the references, and because only one name was proposed by Pringsheim, the protologue is considered coextensive with the page range of the paper (Art. 41.5, Note 1). Attempted validation also by D.Kapustin in Kapustin & Davydov (2017: 283). The attempted validation by Andersen et al. (2017: 602) would have been invalid in any event as a "provisional" statement was included ("A new combination was validated here, should three species be shown to exist" contrary to ICN Art. 36.1). - (14 November 2017) - M.D. Guiry
