Notes: Recent revisions based on molecular phylogenies of the keeled and canal raphe-bearing diatom genera Surirella , Cymatopleura , Rhopalodia , and Iconella , revealed monophyly of the genus Surirella . This necessitated nomenclatural transfers of many nested taxa within Surirella ( Ruck & al. 2016), including the freshwater forms of Cymatopleura . However, Cymatopleura internationalis from Glacier National Park, Montana, USA, described by Bahls (2013), was not included in the transfers to Surirella proposed by Ruck & al. (2016) and Jahn & al. (2017).
