Type Information
Syntype localities: "G. subtenellum has been found in different places on the coast of Algeria in company with L. incrustans, but apparently rather
scarse, Prof. F. Debray. Besides it has been taken at San Vicente de la Barquera (Spain) and at Guéthary (Basses Pyrenees), at the
last named place growing together with L. Lenormandi, L. Sonderi and Lithoph. incrustans, Prof. Camille Sauvageau."

Sauvageau; iii-v.1898; no habitat data; TRH; A2-124 (Woelkerling & al. 2005: 38) Notes: "... slide 70; [no other collection data]; pfa: Printz 1929, pl. 53, figs 1-2; [Note: Lectotype of Lithophyllum subtenellum Foslie. Additional data — Chamberlain 1993: 112, and Woelkerling 1993: 215. Collection consists of three original round boxes housed in a newer brown box. Largest round box contains specimens and is marked with collection data and with ‘Lpm. subtenellum delvis [= in part]’. Smaller two round boxes (both empty) are marked with collection data. One also marked ‘Lithoph. subtenellum (L. incrustans og [= and] Lithoth. sonderi)’ and ‘præp. [= slide] 70’. Other also marked with pfa data and with ‘Lithoph. subtenellum delvis [= in part]’ and ‘anth. konc. [= antheridial conceptacles]’. Grouped with A2- 125 under one entry in Adey & Lebednik 1967: 17. Adey & Lebednik indicated that four boxes occurred, but only two were found during the present study]" (Woelkering et al. 2005: 38)."
