Tripos woodii Molinari & Guiry , nom. nov.

Replaced name: Ceratium pacificum E.J.F.Wood, Technical Papers , Division of Fisheries and Oceanography [CSIRO] 14: 42, 1963 (Miozoa, Ceratiaceae ), nom. illeg., non Ceratium pacificum Schröder (1906: 368) , ≡ Tripos pacificus (Schröder) F. Gómez (2013: 17) , Ceratiaceae .

Notes: The species is renamed for the original author, Australian marine microbiologist Edward James Ferguson Wood (1904–1972). The name was validly published under the ICZN with an English description and without a designation of a type, a requirement only for names published after 1999 (Art. 16.4, International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1999); the name is accepted as validly published under Art. 45.1 of the ICN; however, is still illegitimate under Art/ 54.1.b. It was combined under Neoceratium by Gómez & al. (2010), a superfluous name for Tripos Bory.
