Nomenclatural notes
Illegimate: not Cyclotella dubia Hilse 1861. - (20 Apr 2010) - M.D. Guiry

As the figs of Cyclotella dubia provided by Fricke show detailed morphological features that make a certain identification of the species possible, Taf. 222 fig. 23 (in Schmidt et al., 1874-1959 is designated as type but since it is not obvious whether or not this fig. is "original material' as defined in Art.9, Note 2, it is uncertain whether this should be designated as a lectotype or neotype (H.Håkansson, 2002: 7, fig. 5, arrowed). - (24 Mar 2016) - Wendy Guiry
