Comments | Type by original designation. Monotypic. Probably valid. A formal description of the genus is lacking; description is provided for S. shiloi, but validation of the generic name under Art. 42 does not apply here since S. shiloi is not a new species. I accept that the description on p. 345 can be assumed to be the generic description, and that the genus name is valid. Fragilariaceae ? (implied) |
