Typification and taxonomic status re-evaluation of 15 taxon names within the species complex Cymbella affinis/tumidula/turgidula (Cymbellaceae, Bacillariophyta)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Specimens belonging to the Cymbellaaffinis / Cymbellatumidula / Cymbellaturgidula species complex have many taxonomic problems, due to their high morphological variability and lack of type designations. Fifteen taxon names of this complex, distributed in five species, were re-evaluated concerning their taxonomic status, and lectotypified based on original material. In addition to light microscopy, some material was analyzed by electron microscopy. Four new combinations are proposed in order to reposition infraspecific taxa.

This paper describes three new Cymbella species from high altitude lakes of Hengduan Mountains region, southwest China. Cymbella heihainensis Li et Gong nov. spec. is similar to C. modicepunctata Krammer, C. asiatica Metzeltin, Lange-Bertalot et Li, Y., but differs from them in valve size, stigmata, raphe ending and also striae number. Cymbella shudunensis Li et Metzeltin nov. spec. is related ...
متن کاملQuantitative shape analysis as a diagnostic and prescriptive tool in determining Fragilariforma (Bacillariophyta) taxon status
For 120 specimens and fi gures of Fragilariforma, 10 Legendre coeffi cients were calculated as shape descriptors. For each half valve apically bisected, 50 x,y coordinates were used to calculate Legendre coeffi cients. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to ordinate the shape descriptors as a total shape gradient of valve forms. The fi rst four principal components explained 90.3 % of ...
