Achnanthidium flexellum var. dissimile (W. Smith) Grunow in Cleve & Grunow 1880, p. 17
as var. ‘dissimilis’ Sm.
BasionymNavicula dissimilis W. Smith 1857
StatusValid
CommentsIt is suggested by Grunow that this is a new combination (see also De Toni 1891, p. 489) (ref. 000271), but neither Grunow, nor De Toni nor VanLandingham cite a basionym. No description, or illustration provided by Grunow. Could possibly be treated as a new combination of Navicula dissimilis Smith 1957
