Notes: Recent recognition that several generic diatom names were based on descriptive or adjectival terms led to new validated names, including Decussatophycus (Guiry & Gandhi. 2019), Delicatophycus ( Wynne 2019) , Pulchellophycus ( Edlund & Wynne 2019) , and others (e.g. Blanco & Wetzel 2016, Turland & al. 2018). However, Cymbopleura tundraphila , described by Bahls (2017) from Nunavut, Canada (Coppermine River, September Mountains Lake), shares diagnostic features ( Bahls 2018) with the recently validated genus Delicatophycus , justifying this transfer, as suggested by Bahls (2019: 22).
