Type Species
The type species (holotype) of the genus Coelarthrum is Coelarthrum albertisii (Piccone) Børgesen.
Status of Name
This name is currently regarded as a synonym of Chamaebotrys boergesenii (Weber Bosse) Huisman.
Source of Synonymy
Huisman, J.M. (1996). The red algal genus Coelarthrum Børgesen (Rhodymeniaceae, Rhodymeniales) in Australian seas, including the description of Chamaebotrys gen. nov. Phycologia 35: 95-112.
Type Information
Lectotype locality: Sailus-Besar, Isles Paternoster; (Huisman 1996: 108) Lectotype (cystocarpic): L; L8811-2 (Huisman 1996: 108) Notes: Huisman (1996: 106, 108) notes: Several specimens are included in the type collection housed in Leiden. Of these, the material from Borneo Bank (Makassar strait) (L 8811-1) was designated as the lectotype by I.A. Abbott (17. iii. 1969). This material consists of two specimens, one sterile and one tetrasporic. In Abbott & Littler (1969) the specimen from Saleyer Reef (L8811-3) was designated the lectotype. This specimen is sterile. As Weber-van Bosse described and illustrated (1928, fig. 207) a cystocarpic plant, neither of the specimens from Saleyer Reef(L8811-3)or Borneo Bank (L 8811-1) are representative of the protologue. Also included in the collection is a cystocarpic specimen (L8811-2) from Sailus-Besar, Isles Paternoster, that is more representative of the protologue and should be regarded as the lectotype.
