| Comments | Round, Crawford & Mann (1990), p. 684, state: "Synonym of Amphipleura Kützing 1844 (by lectotypification)". Indeed, Cleve 1894 (ref. 000232) chose Frustulia pellucida as the type of genus Amphipleura Kützing 1844 (ref. 000595). By lectotypification of the genus Amphipleura Kütz. 1844, genus Aulacocystis Hassal 1845 became nomenclatural synonym of Amphipleura Kütz. 1844. |
