| Comments | This name is not validly published because it is "merely proposed in anticipation of the future acceptance of the group concerned" (see ICBN 1994, Art. 34.1). In the discussion about Eupodiscus radiatus, Boyer makes the following comments:Rattray's genus of Eupodiscus is not the same as that of Ehrenberg's the type of which was what is known as Aulacodiscus argus. Bailey's form is neither an Aulacodiscus, Auliscus, or Pseudoliscus, as these genera are now understood, and cannot be assigned to any of them. As but one species is recognized as recent in North America I have not ventured to change the name. It is suggested, however, that if, according to the American code, it becomes necessary to place the species in a new genus that the genus be called Baileya in honor of the pioneer of American writers on the Diatomaceae. The species which appears to be the nearest to Bailey's is Eupodiscus Hardmanianus Grev. )(trans. Mic. Soc. Lond. 14:80, f. 14. 1866), a fossil form from Barbados. Hanna (unpublished manuscript) noted that the name was preoccupied (Harvey & Gray ex Torrey, in Emory, Notes Mill. Reconnois, 1848), and gave Aulacodiscus radiatus Bailey as the type. Name is already occupied, see Baileya Harvey & Gray ex Torrey in Emory 1848(Phan. Asteraceae) and Baileya Kutzing 1857 (Rhodophyta) |
