Nomenclatural notes
(J. Agardh) Codomier 1971: 32 (Le Gall, 2018). - (05 September 2018) - G.M. Guiry
According to Athanasiadis (1996: 653) and contrary to Parkinson (1980: 16), "All requirements of valid publication of Codomler's thesis [have been] fulfilled (Art. 41.5) - the name of a printer Is stated on the last page of Volume II (Art.30.8.Note 4 )." However, Vol. I in which the name is introduced does not have any mention of a printer and only the cover and title page have actually been printed; the rest is mimeographed. Regardless of the effectiveness of the publication, Cormaci, Firnari & Alongi (2021: 52) point out that "... Codomier (1972a: 56), didn%u2019t give a full reference to the basionym." - (08 February 2017) - M.D. Guiry
