Roperia tesselata var. ovata Kolbe 1954, p. 45
StatusValid
CommentsTreated, and described, by Kolbe as a new combination of “Roperia tesselata f. ovata” Mann 1925. Mann 1925, p. 143, pl. 31, fig. 3 (ref. 000632), however, did not validly published that name, and Kolbe’s name is therefore treated as the name of a new taxon. Kolbe also cited as synonym: Roperia tesselata var. ovata Heiden in Heiden & Kolbe 1927.
Published inKolbe, R.W. 1954 [ref. 000575]. Diatoms from equatorial Pacific cores. In: H. Pettersson (ed.), Reports of the Swedish Deep-Sea Expedition 1947-1948, Sediment cores from the West Pacific. Göteborgs Kungl. Vetenskaps- Och Vitterhets-Samhälle, Göteborg 6(1):49 pp., 4 pls.
