Abstract

Abstract : In the original description of the diatom genus Colliculoamphora, the type species of Colliculoamphora reichardtiana (Grunow) Williams and Reid (= Amphora reichardtiana Grunow) was mistakenly said to be from Honduras. Inspection of relevant specimens and manuscript material of Amphora reichardtiana in Grunow's collection (held in W) has permitted a re-evaluation of the species. Type material has been identified and, after examination, a new species, Colliculoamphora johnwrightii, is separated from Colliculoamphora reichardtiana .
