Nomenclatural note
Bacillaria is feminine, thus the masculine epithet "paxillifer" used in the original description is correctable "paxillifera". According to Jahn & Schmid (2007: 297), Höbel & Sterrenburg (2011: 18), the correct authority is (O.F. Müller) Hendey; however Heudre & al. (2020: [11] point out that the combination was actually first made by Marsson (1901: 254). The combination was also proposed by Hendey (1951: 74). - (11 January 2011) - M.D. Guiry
