Nomenclatural note
Invalidly introduced by Lange-Bertalot (1999: 278; corrected printing 284) as after 1 Jan 1953, a full and direct reference is required to the author and place of valid publication of the intended basionym, with page or plate reference and date (ICN Art. 41.5); validated by Morales (2006: 338): "Lange-Bertalot (1999) transferred A. lanceolata var. minutissima to the genus Planothidiurn, but unfortunately his combination is invalid since he did not give a correct reference to the basionym of the taxon. He mistakenly referred to Plate 6 as "p. 6" and did not give a reference to the page on which the protologue appeared (p. 513). The error has been perpetuated in subsequent publications and the combination has been used frequently by other authors (Kusber & Metzeltin 2001, Kusber & Jahn 2003)." - (09 December 2015) - G.M.
