| Comments | Type by monotypy. Comments: Generic description p. 4. The type species is clearly E. aleutica since the genus is originally monotypic; the type species, however, was not indicated with the word "type" or equivalent, and the genus name may therefore not be validly published if following a strict application of the ICBN (see Art. 37.4). Name validated in Fourtanier & Kociolek (Diat. Res., 14(1): 61. 1999) if the name is considered to be invalidly published in ref. 007057. |
