Treatment

Borziella Molinari & Guiry View in CoL , nom. nov.

Replaced name: Bacularia Borzì, Nuova Notarisia 16: 21, 1905 (Cyanobacteria, Synechococcaceae ), non Bacularia Mueller (1878: 58) , Arecaceae .

Type: Bacularia coerulescens Borzì (monotypic genus at the time of publication).

Notes: We follow Komárek & Johansen (2015), who included five species. Borziella species can be found in meta- and periphytic habitats from freshwater sources world-wide, forming filamentous or tubular colonies ( Komárek & Johansen, 2015). Rhabdoderma vermiculare Fedorov is a later homonym of R. vermiculare Fott (1952: 192) , so the proposed combination by Komárek & Anagnostidis (1995: 17) is a replacement name to be credited only to the later authors. The genus is renamed after Antonino Borzì (1852-1921), its original author.
