Taxonomic note
CAS: "Four species are originally included, and no type is unequivocally designated. A larger treatment is given by Grunow to C. perrotetii which is given as the holotype by Ross in Farr et al. 1979.SVL does not accept this genus: Genus based on monstrosities, vide Pfitzer 1871, p.104-105 (ref. 000754). Hanna (unpubl. ms.) remarked that Cox (Am. Journ. Micr. Pop. Sci. vol. 4, 1879, pp. 97-100) stated that the genus is Stictodesmus Greville and possibly Climaconeis Grunow. He added that all are abnormal forms of Navicula and that C. ehrenbergii of Grunow is N. cuspidata." - (21 October 2011) - M.D. Guiry
