| Comments | Information in SVL is Ehrenberg 1838 (pubnum 000288) p. 29; this genus, however, is not found p. 29; it appears instead p. 224, in the section on Cocconema, where it is listed as Gomphonema (Paltonophora) lanceolatum Kutzing, Linnea, 1833, p. 38, and given as a synonym of Cocconema lanceolatum. Its first occurrence in the literature seems to be in Kutzing 1833 (000594) p. 38, where it is introduced as a subgroup of Gomphonema (Kutzing divided genus Gomphonema into 3 groups: Cymbophora, Paltonophora, Cocconema). Kutzing gives 2 species for Paltonophora: Gomphonema lanceolatum Ag. and Gomphonema angustum Ag., no type is designated (and no transfer done). Note: Ehrenberg 1838 (000288) p. 216 indicates that Paltonophora = Cocconema. |
