Type Information
Type locality: ARGENTINA, Río Negro Province, San Matías Gulf (40°52´ S, 64°59´ W). Atrial content of a sea sponge (Chalina sp.); (Frenguelli 1939: 212) Lectotype (designated by omeiro & al. 2022): Alberto Carcelles & Aurelio Pozzi; May 1933; marine; LPC; Slide 382(2) of Frenguelli Collection, England Finder M33–4 (Lameiro & al. 2022: 2, fig. 5) Notes: While the original material in the Frenguelli Collection is based on a single gathering, a series of four slides was made from this material (which no longer exists), none of which were specified as the type by Frenguelli. In view of this, it is necessary to select a lectotype from the slide series so as precisely to define the taxon and for the avoidance of potential taxonomic confusion. Currently this material is stored as “Series 382” (slides 1–4) in the “Joaquín Frenguelli Diatom Collection” located in the División Ficología, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, La Plata, Argentina (LPC, see Lomeiro & al. 2022 for further insights).
