Nomenclatural note
"Bai v. Bengalen (Thum), ein sehr eigentümliches Gebilde in drei verschiedenen Stellungen, das ich Parelion Thumii nennen will Die Engländer, wie auch Witt, erkennen dasselbe als Diatomacee nicht an. Wie eine Polycistinasieht es auch nicht aus. Was mich bewogen hat, ihm hier einen Platz zu gönnen, ißt die in t. 59 wagerecht ausgebreitete und an Asterolampra erinnernde Manschette." - (11 April 2018) - M.D. Guiry
