Comments Name conserved with a conserved type vs. Pinnularia Lindl. & Hutton [Foss.] (nom. rej.) and Stauroptera Ehrenberg 1843 (nom. rej., taxonomic synonym) (see ICBN 1956, p. 201, ref. 006916). Name first introduced in Ehrenberg 1840, p. 213 (ref. 000293) as a subgroup within the genus Navicula, with several species listed in alphabetic order as Navicula (Pinnularia) aspera...etc., no type is designated. The name however was not validly published as a subgenus in Ehrenberg 1840 for lacking a description while including more than one species. In Ehrenberg 1843 (ref. 001183) Pinnularia is treated as a genus, 3 species are listed (P. viridis, P. viridula, P. gastrum) and no type is designated.
