| Comments | Cited in Kützing 1849 as "Ctenophora pulchella De Brébisson in litt.", and given as a synonym of Synedra pulchella Kützing. Genus name not validly published because "merely cited as a synonym" (see ICBN 1994 Art. 43.1/c). It appears that the name was communicated to Kützing as a specimen labelled "Ctenophora pulchella" by Brébisson and was included by Kützing in the group "Tabularia" of Synedra. This name is validly published for a subgroup of Synedra by Grunow 1862, p. 385 (ref. 000428). See genus Ctenophora (Grun.) Williams & Round 1886 (nov. status). |
