Abstract
The genus name Synedra should now be used only for a group of marine species previously included in Catacombas, the latter name becoming a junior synonym. From a purely nomenclatural point of view, as numerous names remain in Synedra when they clearly do not belong there, a problem exists in how to treat those names. Two suggestions are made. One might explore existing names and their associated data; or one may treat the matter as a scientific problem, the problem of taxon relationships at various levels in the taxonomic hierarchy (genus, family, order, etc.), and explore the issue via systematic treatment of groups of species from the point of view of their monophyly. Monophyletic classifications at all ranks and supported by evidence (characters) allows a more scientific approach to understanding the relationships among various groups of species.
期刊介绍：
Diatom Research is the journal of the International Society for Diatom Research. The journal is published quarterly, in March, June, September and December, and welcomes manuscripts on any aspect of diatom biology.
In addition to full-length papers, short notes and reviews of recent literature are published which need not contain all the sections required for full-length papers; we see these as being necessary to record information which is of interest but which cannot be followed up in detail. Discursive “Opinion” papers are encouraged which would not necessarily follow the normal lay-out. If extremely long papers are to be offered, the author(s) should contact the editors first to discuss any problems. Book reviews, obituaries and meeting reports can be published. All papers will be subject to critical review by the editors and referees, as appropriate to their content. Papers will be accepted in English only.
