Nomenclatural note
First introduced invalidly (no description or illustration) by Brébisson (1838: 17). Validated by Kützing (1849: 38), but this name is illegitimate as it included in synonymy two valid names: Frustulia subquadrata Brébisson, 1835, and Surirella ovata Kützing, 1844. - (18 March 2016) - M.D. Guiry
