Abstract

The case of Synedra pelagica Hendey is discussed in terms of its nomenclature, the taxonomic implications of priority issues and its characterization. Application of replacement names for specific epithets is reasonably straightforward as it is governed by the ICN – conditions for valid publication of any taxonomic name can be satisfied even if no one can subsequently identify the taxon. The lack of clear diagnostic characters, as opposed to a description, can obscure what the name actually represents. These issues are briefly discussed with Synedra pelagica in mind.

名字，诊断和“死亡的名字”:上颌参的案例

从命名法、优先问题的分类学含义及其特征等方面讨论了pelagica Hendey Synedra的情况。特定形容词的替换名称的应用相当简单，因为它受ICN的管辖——任何分类名称的有效发布条件都可以满足，即使后来没有人能够识别该分类单元。与描述相反，缺乏明确的诊断字符可能会模糊名称的实际含义。这些问题将在考虑到Synedra pelagica的情况下进行简要讨论。

期刊介绍： Diatom Research is the journal of the International Society for Diatom Research. The journal is published quarterly, in March, June, September and December, and welcomes manuscripts on any aspect of diatom biology. In addition to full-length papers, short notes and reviews of recent literature are published which need not contain all the sections required for full-length papers; we see these as being necessary to record information which is of interest but which cannot be followed up in detail. Discursive “Opinion” papers are encouraged which would not necessarily follow the normal lay-out. If extremely long papers are to be offered, the author(s) should contact the editors first to discuss any problems. Book reviews, obituaries and meeting reports can be published. All papers will be subject to critical review by the editors and referees, as appropriate to their content. Papers will be accepted in English only.
