| Comments | Name rejected vs. Pinnularia Ehrenberg 1843 (nom. cons., taxonomic synonym)(see ICBN 1956, p. 201, ref. 006916). Originally monotypic: Stauroptera semicruciata Ehr. (p. 44). There is no illustration, and no formal description of the genus Stauroptera, but a diagram (in German) of comparison between genera Navicula, Pinnularia, Stauroneis, and Stauroptera, that may be equivalent to a description. Several species are included in Ehrenberg 1843, p. 135 (ref. 000294). Hanna (unpubl. ms.) gives a different reference: Stauroptera Ehrenberg, Abh. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1841 [1843], p. 134, and indicates that several species were included in the genus. (not verified by us). |
