| Comments | ING says:the status of this name, whether genus or subgenus, is obscure. Vide Cleve, op. cit. p. 194. Although Cleve introduced Disconeis as "N.G." (new genus) on page 180, he clearly introduced it as a subgenus p. 164-165. Furthermore, no transfers are made for the 6 species placed in this group (they remain in genera Achnanthes and Cocconeis), which shows that Cleve considered this group a subgenus. Six taxa were originally assigned to this group by Cleve, but no type species was indicated by him. Syntype species: A. hexagona Br. & Cl., C. lyra A.S., C. reticulata Cl., C. formosa Brun, C. versicolor Brun And C. pinnata Greg. |
