Nomenclatural notes
Komárek & Anagnostidis (1999: 148) give Kossinskaja (1948) as the combining authority, after checking, this combination is an invalid isonym with nomenclatural standing. - (01 July 2014) - M.D. Guiry
This combination made in Silva et al. (1996: 30) and is also in INA. However, in S.M.F. Silva & R.N. Pienaar (2000: 12) and John et al. (2002) Aphanocapsa marina Hansg. is treated as current. - (03 July 2012) - G.M. Guiry
