| Comments | Genus described in German in Ehrenberg 1837. Two species are listed (but not described): Cocconeis scutellum (N.G.) and C. undulata (n. sp.), no type is originally designated. SVL incorrectly gives Ehrenberg 1838 (ref. 000288) p. 193 as the original publication (in this publication 6 species are described: C. scutellum, C. undulatum, C. placentula, C. pediculus, C? finnica, C? clypeus). See also Cleve 1895 (ref. 000949) p. 168 who introduced the subgenus Cocconeis (Ehr.) Cleve. Cleve discussed the group Cocconeis-Achnanthes p. 164 and proposed to divide this group into several subgenera, one of them is Cocconeis (Ehr.) Cleve. The genus name is validly published in ref. 000285, however the species names were published the following year (ref. 000288). |
