| Comments | Name rejected vs. Diatomella Greville 1855 (nom. cons., taxonomic synonym) (see ICBN 1956, p. 200, ref. 006916). Originally monotypic. The figure published in 1854 is a girdle view of three connected frustules; these may belong to any one of several genera. A brief comment is made in Ehrenberg 1854 (ref. 000300), p. 260. According to SVL, a synonym for Disiphonia australis Ehrenberg is Diatomella balfouriana (Wm Smith 1856) R.K. Greville 1855. Disiphonia is also described as a new genus in Ehrenberg 1870, p. 44 (ref. 000309). |
