| Comments | Name conserved vs. Brebissonia Spach 1835 (see ICBN 1956, p. 200, ref. 006916). Two species are cited in Grunow's paper: "Gomphonema naviculoides W. Sm. and Cymbella boeckii Kg.", no transfers are made and no type is designated. See O'Meara 1875 (ref. 000694) p. 337 for a description of Brebissonia Grunow and comments on the genus. Name conserved vs. Brebissonia Spach 1835 (see ICBN 1956, p. 200, ref. 006916). See comments in O'Meara 1875 (000694), p. 337: “the only species of this genus was by Smith described and figured under the name Doryphora boeckii”. O'Meara does not designate a lectotype because removing all species but one from a genus does not constitute lectotypification (see ICBN94 recomm. 9A.5). Preconservation lectotypification of the genus with B. boeckii is found in Taxon 1:95-97. July 1952 (ref. 006922). |
