Terpsinoe brasiliensis Ehrenb., Mikrogeologie, 310, 311, 1854. Fig. 14

Lectotype (designated here).

Specimen in preparation 180411a, marked with blue (bl) ring, from sample 1102, "Rio Consescao der Insel St. Catharina", in BHUPM (Museum für Naturkunde) ( Fig. 14 ).

Locality of the lectotype.

"Rio de Concescao, Insula St. Catharina, Brasilien".

Original diagnosis.

" mit sehr kleinen Notenzeichen ".

Terpsinoe brasiliensis was published the first time by Ehrenberg in his book Mikrogeologie (1854). Several taxa of diatom published by Ehrenberg in this work are considered unavailable (invalid) according the Article 12 of ICZN ( Ride et al. 1999) due to absence of a description, definition and indication of any illustration. This is not the case for Terpsinoe brasiliensis and, maybe, could be the only case, in which Ehrenberg provided the following description “… und Terpsinoë brasiliensis, mit sehr kleinen Notenzeichen …” [and Terpsinoe brasiliensis , with very short musical notes]. This short description is considered to be enough by us, as well as several other descriptions published long ago by other authors (e.g., Agardh 1827).
