Nomenclatural Changes For Some Diatoms Found In Iowa, David B. Czarnecki
Nomenclatural Changes For Some Diatoms Found In Iowa, David B. Czarnecki
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Nomenclatural revisions for four diatom taxa found in Iowa, two of which are presently maintained in the Loras College Freshwater Diatom Culture Collection (FDCC), are necessary because of systematic interpretations of the Division Bacillariophyta. Achnanthidium hauckianum (Grun.) Czarnecki comb. nov. was originally assigned to the genus Achnanthes Bory. Three taxa were previously assigned to the morphologically diverse genus Navicula Bory. These are Cavinula weinzierlii (Schimanski) Czarnecki comb. nov., Craticula cuspidata var. major [(Meist.) Czarnecki comb. nov. and] Craticula halophila var. subcapitata (0str.) Czarnecki comb. nov.
An Interpretation Of Hustedt's Terms "Schattenlinie", "Perlenreihe" And "Hocker" Using Specimens Of The Cyclotella Radiosa-Complex, C. Distinguenda, Hust., And C. Cyclopuncta Nov. Sp., Hannelore Hakansson, John R. Carter
An Interpretation Of Hustedt's Terms "Schattenlinie", "Perlenreihe" And "Hocker" Using Specimens Of The Cyclotella Radiosa-Complex, C. Distinguenda, Hust., And C. Cyclopuncta Nov. Sp., Hannelore Hakansson, John R. Carter
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
With the help of light- and scanning electron micrographs HUSTEDT'S terms "Schattenlinie", "Perlenrcihe", and "Hocker" are explained using specimens in the Cydotella radiosa complex, and C. distinguenda HUST. The complicated history of C. operculata (AG.) KUTZ., published elsewhere, has shown that C. distinguenda HUST. is the correct name to be used for this taxon. In this connection the new nomenclatural combination C. distinguenda var. unipunctata nov. comb. is proposed.
Morphological differences are discussed and the possibility of different "unipunctata" species is shown. Distinct morphological features found indicate the necessiry to describe a new species: C. cyclopuncta nov. sp. rather than …

Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) From The Excelsior Fen-Complex, Dickinson Co., Iowa, With The Description Of Two New Taxa, Charles W. Reimer
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
This paper presents a summary list of the presently known diatom flora of the Excelsior Fen-complex and a description of two new taxa: Navicula incompta var. incurva Reim. var. nov. and Stauroneis bovbjergii Reim. sp. nov. Notes on some physico-chemical parameters of the habitat and on the ecology of the taxa are included.
