| Comments | Type by original designation (see p. 346). Comments: Although no type is formally designated after the description of the genus, the statement, p. 346 ("a group of linear valved/parallel striate species typified by Achnanthes pusilla (Grun.) De Toni. These we placed in a new genus Rossithidium...") constitutes designation of the type. Since the name is validly published in this paper, validation of the generic name proposed by Round 1998, p. 181 (ref. 007063) is unnecessary. |
