NOV. (CHRYSOPHYCEAE) Denzse de C. Blcudo and Carlos E. de ,M.Bicudo' The present note is a correction to the article "Three new species of Salpingoeca (Chrysophyceae) from Southern Brazil," by Denise de C. Bicudo and Carlos E. de M. Bicudo, published in The Japanese Journal of Phycology, vol. 3 1, part 1, 1983. Since it has come to our knowledge that the name Salpingoeca arnpullacea published by us is a later homonym of Salpingoeca arnpullacea Stein ("Der Organismus der Flagellaten nach eigenen Forschungen in systematischer Reihenfolge bearbeitet," vol. 3, part 1, p. 154, pl. 11, figs. 6-7. 1878), it is illegitimate and must be rejected (International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, Art. 64.1). Thus, we hereby propose the name Salpingoeca ampulloides D. Bic. & C. Bic., nom. nov. to replace Salpingoeca afnpullacea D. Bic. & C. Bic. The diagnosis remains unchanged. T H E CORRECT NAME FOR T H E TYPE O F HYPOGLOSSUM KUTZING (DELESSERIACEAE, RHODOPHYTA) Michael J. Wynne2 The recent use of the binomial Hypoglossufn hypoglossoides (Harv.) Womersley et Shepley (1982) caused me to notice an earlier use of this combination by Collins and Hervey (19 17). In checking the current status of the earlier name it became apparent that the correct name for the type of HJpoglossurn (Delesseriaceae, Ceramiales) is H. hypoglossoides (Stackh.) Coll. et Herv., including the currently accepted H. woodwardii Kutz. H~poglossurnwas established by Kutzing (1843: 444, pl. 65, I) and was based on Fucus hJpoglossurn Woodward (1794). Kiitzing substituted the epithet woodwardii to avoid a tautonym, and this combination has been used over the ensuing years as the name of the type (Kylin, 1923, 1924, 1956; Womersley and Shepley, 1982). Stackhouse (1801) described an alga, Fucus hJpoglossoides, which was placed close to Woodward's species but differed allegedly on its lacking the "double fructification" of the earlier species. Woodward (1794) had observed dimorphic reproductive plants and described the species as dioecious; it is readily evident that he confused the cystocarpic plants as male plants and the tetrasporic plants as female plants. Stackhouse also noted that the blades of his species had a reticulate, hexagonal appearance, a feature not referred to in Woodward's description of Fucus hypoglossurn. Turner (1802, 1808) pointed out that the reticulate appearance was not restricted to Stackhouse's "Cornish variety" but also characteristic of F. h~poglossurn,and he placed the Stackhouse species in synonymy with the Woodward species, a practice also followed by others, e.g., Agardh (1822), Greville (1830), Harvey (187 l), DeToni (1900), and Praeda (1909). Lamouroux (1813) included the Woodward species in his new genus Delesseria. Harvey (1853) recorded both D. hJpoglossa and his new species D. tenuifolia from North America. Collins and Hervey (I 9 17) recognized that the Stackhouse name antedated the Kutzing epithet and thus applied the name H~poglossurnhypoglossoides to a species occurring in Bermuda which they assumed was I Instituto de Botbnica, Caixa postal, 4005, 01000-SZo Paulo, SP, Brasil. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48 109, U.S.A. FEBRUARY 1984 the same as that in European waters. Later workers (Bsrgesen, 1919; Taylor, 1960) regarded the Caribbean alga as distinct from the European type. Dixon (1962) has called attention to the fact that he discovered a large number of Stackhouse specimens housed in the Lamouroux Herbarium in the Institut Botanique, Caen. Dixon also emphasized that typification of Stackhouse taxa must be undertaken with extreme caution. At my request Professor Paulette Gayral, Universiti. de Caen, has looked for the presence of any Stackhouse material corresponding to his Fucus hypoglossoides. She located and sent a photograph of a specimen labelled "F. hyppoglos in fruit. Pridmouth July." Although not signed by Stackhouse, the handwriting has been verified by Dr. F. A. Turk, Extra-Mural Research Fellow of the University of Exeter, to be that of Stackhouse. I hereby designate it as the lectotype of Fucus hjpoglosso~desStackhouse. Dr. Turk has informed me (in litt.) that the word "Pridmouth" is a local Cornish contraction of Polridmouth Cove (Grid Ref. 20/1050) and at that time only a Cornishman would have used the abbreviation for the place-name. He also indicated that the double "p" in "hyppoglos" is certainly a lapsus calami. Fucus hypoglossurn Woodward and its replacement name, Hypoglossurn woodwardii, representing the type specimen of Hypoglossum under Art. 10.2 (Sydney Code), now fall into taxonomic synonymy. The taxonomically correct name is Hypoglossurn hypoglossoides (Stackh.) Coll. et Herv. In their study of southern Australian species of Hypoglossurn, Womersley and Shepley (1982) determined that the type specimen of Delesseria spathulata Sonder (1845), which had been thought to represent a Hypoglossurn (Agardh, 1898), was in reality an Apoglossurn and an earlier name for the alga being called Apoglossum tasmanicum (F. von Muell. in Harv.) J . Ag. Womersley and Shepley proceeded to select the oldest available name for what had been called H. spathulaturn, which was Delesseria hypoglossoides Harvey (1855). They also listed several species in its synonymy: H. heterocj~srideum(J. Ag.) J . Ag.; H , undulaturn (J. Ag.) J. Ag.; H. marginaturn J. Ag. Since H. hypoglossoides (Harv.) Womers. et Shepl. is a later homonym of H. hjpoglossoides (Stackh.) Coll. et Herv., it is necessary to use Hypoglossum heterocystideurn, the oldest available name, for this southern Australian species. I am grateful to Prof. P. Gayral and Dr. F. A. Turk for their assistance. References Agardh, C. A. 1822. Species algarum. . . . Vol. 1(2), Lund, pp. [l-61, 169-531. Agardh, J. G. 1898. Species genera et ordines algarurn . . . .

ON THE NOMENCLATURE OF GOTTSCHEA NEES EX MONT. 1843 (SCHISTOCHILACEAE, JUNGERMANNIALES) Riclef Grollel and Gea ZijlstraZ Sumrnary Gortschea Nees ex Mont. 1843 has been published without generic description. It is valid there by indirect reference to Jungerrnannia sect. ,Vernorosae [subsect.] Aligerae Reinw. et al. 1824 only. The type of both is J . aligera Nees et Blume (Art. 22.4). Schistochilaster H. Miller 1970 is a nomenclatural synonym and Paraschistochila Schust. 1963 and Tegul(fo1ium Hassel 1973 are taxonomic ones. 18 new combinations are proposed under Gotrschea. Schistochila Dum. 1835 s. amplo has recently been split into several genera (Schuster, 1963; Miller, 1970; Hassel de Menendez, 1973; Schuster and Engel, 1982). This raised the question, whether the synonyms of Schistochila s. amplo have to be kept as those of Schisrochila s. str. as well. Following Miller's 1970 nomenclatural treatment of Gottschea Nees ex Mont. 1843, Schuster (1 97 1, p. 625 [footnote]) concluded that "there is no Schistochila-Gottschea problem concerning nomenclature." A recent checking of the protologue of Gotrschea in Montagne (1 843) revealed however that Miller's 1970 typification of Gotrschea Nees ex Mont. 1843 is untenable. The reasons are the following: Montagne (1 843) described three new species of Gortschea, and mentioned three further species. The study of the fructification of G. neesii made him conclude that the hepatics of the "section Aligerae" should be considered as a genus of its own. He wrote this to Nees, who answered him that he had come to the same conclusions, and was publishing this now as the n.g. Gortschea in the first fascicule of the 'Synopsis Hepaticarum' (which appeared in 1844). Montagne did nor provide a generic diagnosis, but Gottschea is validly published by him, by his indirect reference to the "section Aligerae." Hence J . aligera, the type of the Aligerae, is the type of Gotrschea (Art. 22.4). With Jungerrnannia aligera Nees et Blume as the type of Gortschea Nees ex Mont. 1843, this generic name has to replace Paraschisrochila Schust. 1963 following the taxonomic concept advocated by Schuster (1971) and Schuster and Engel (1977). Unfortunately, 18 new combinations are required. The name commemorates, however, C. M. Gottsche (1808-1892), an eminent expert of hepatics in the past century and physician to the poor in Hamburg.
