The type of Stephanosira Ehrenberg (Thalassiosirophyceae) and re-evaluation of Stephanosira europaea Ehrenberg Journal Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The centric diatom genus Stephanosira Ehrenberg, originally described as being epiphytic from terrestrial habitats in Venezuela, had been subsumed for a long time under Orthoseira Thwaites, a genus name that cannot be used in the traditional circumscription after review of its type. However, the identity of Stephanosira remained unresolved because the genus has never been properly typified in the past. The present work, which uses Ehrenberg’s materials, affords lectotypification of the genus and re-evaluation of S. europaea and updates our knowledge of the genus.
