| Comments | Typified with type of replaced name. The name Amphitrite is introduced in Cleve 1878, p. 19 (ref. 000221), but invalidly published, in a list of diatoms from Barbados as "Amphitrite (Amphiprora Greg.) complexa (Greg.) Diat. of Clyde pl. 4, fig. 62". No description, illustration, or explanation was given by Cleve. Kuntze 1891, p. 882 (ref. 001330) proposed to use Amphitrite Cleve as a substitute name for Auricula Castracane 1873, non Auricula Battarra 1755. Kuntze included in the genus Amphitrite: Amphitrite complexa Cleve (Greg.), Amphitrite japonica (Brun), mucronata [H.L.Sm.] (Perag.), ostrea (Temp. & Brun) OK and Auricula amphitritis Cast. = Amphitrite castracanei OK. The name Amphitrite became superfluous in 1956 (see ICBN 1956) when Auricula Castracane 1873 was conserved vs. Auricula Hill 1756 and Auricula Battarra ex O. Kuntze 1891. Synonym: Auricula Castracane 1873. |

| Comments | Superfluous substitute name for Epithema Brébisson 1838, non Blume 1826. Synonym: Epithemia Kützing. Entry in SVL, "Cystopleura Brébisson et Godey 1838 (ref. 000161)" seems erroneous. This genus appears to have been first presented in Kützing 1849 (ref. 000596), p. 3, where two species, C. alpestris Bréb. and C. ocellata Bréb. were presented in his Epithemia section. Kützing does not, however, accept Cystopleura as a genus, he only cites these 2 species as synonyms of Epithemia alpestris Kütz. and Epithemia ocellata Kütz. for which he provides Latin descriptions. Cystopleura is therefore not validly published by Kützing. In O. Kuntze 1891 (ref. 001330) p. 890-891 there is an entry for Cystopleura: "Cystopleura Breb. nomen inapplicatum apud Kützing (1848) spec. alg. p. 3 sub Epithemia ocellata = Epithema Breb. 1838, (-ia) Ktz. 1845 non Bl. 1826. etc...". |
