Abstract 

Kusber, W.-H. & Jahn, R. 2003 (23 June 2003): Annotated list of diatom names by Horst Lange-Bertalot and co-workers. - Version 3.0.

The aim of this paper is to facilitate access to new diatom names of taxa described, combined or renamed by H. Lange-Bertalot and co-workers. These genera, subgenera, species, subspecies, varieties, and formae are listed in alphabetical order. For each name the page of the protologue and the figure is cited. New combinations are followed by the basionym, and substitute names by the replaced name. Comments are given in square brackets. 

Introduction 

Since 1976 H. Lange-Bertalot is publishing papers with new diatom names. Lange-Bertalot and his co-workers (colleagues and students) have built up a network of related diatom names and taxonomic concepts by cross-referencing comments, corrections, and emendations. This seems to be hermetical for those not familiar with the complete output of the "Lange-Bertalot-School". The aim of this paper is to facilitate access to these names. 

The basis for this compilation are the two papers by Metzeltin & Kusber (2001) and Kusber & Metzeltin (2001), improved by Prof. H. Lange-Bertalot (Frankfurt, proof reading and contribution to validations) and by Prof. Dr. W. Greuter and Dr. N. Kilian (both BGBM Berlin, discussions on nomenclatural problems). 

Nomenclatural comments follow the St. Louis Code (Greuter et al. 2000). Author names were standardized according to Brummitt & Powell (1992). Those authors not included in this standard list will be reported to the IPNI-database [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. All data is also made available to the algae names projects at Berkeley University (Index Nominum Algarum, University Herbarium, University of California, Berkeley. Compiled by Paul Silva. Available online at [http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/INA.html]) and the California Academy of Science (Diatom genus project, Fourtanier & Kociolek 1999, available online at [http://www.calacademy.org/research/diatoms/genproject/index.html].

Since this list is work in progress it will be maintained and successively updated at the BGBM Berlin. Major corrections and supplementary information will lead to new versions of this list. For special interest, older versions will be available in an electronic archive. A paper print out of each version will be deposited at the BGBM Library. This list is part of the data services provided by AlgaTerra [http://www.algaterra.org/default.htm], a BMBF funded project within the BIOLOG-Program . These data are evaluated in order to provide full protologue information of selected data subsets, which will be available in 2004 within the AlgaTerra Information System. 

The version 2.0 includes about half of the data of Kusber & Metzeltin (2001), ten publications are newly evaluated (e.g. Wydrzycka & Lange-Bertalot 2001). In the version 2.0 several changes are made to faciliate access.

Standardized phrases:

"º" indicates that a name is a nomenclatural synonym (i.e. homotypic synonym, based on the same nomenclatural type).

"Replaced synonym" indicates that the following name is a homotypic synomym (º), which was either published illegitimately or would have resulted in an illegitimate name in a new combination.

"Basionym" is the name bearing homotypic synonym (º).

"[Nomenclatural synonym of ...]" refers to a later homotypic synonym of this name (º).

"=" indicates that a name is a taxonomic synonym (i.e. heterotypic synonym, based on a different type). This subjective synonym is referenced.

"[Taxonomic synonym of ...]" refers to a later heterotypic synonym of this name (=). This subjective synonym is referenced.

"–" indicates a corresponding name, invalidly published (incl. so called "manuscript names").

In the version 3.0 143 new names from Metzeltin & Lange-Bertalot (2003 "2002") and Lange-Bertalot et al. (2003) are included. Version 3.0 benefits from comments on inconsisties in the reference part of names by Karl Glück (AlgaTerra Project). Beside the BPH/BPH-S standard for abbreviation of journal titles, used since the first version, the TL2 standard [Stafleu, F.A. & Cowan, R.S. (1976-): Taxonomic literature, ed. 2 and its Supplements. Reg. Veg. 125 etc.] for abbreviation of book titles find its way into our version 3.0, although many algal title are missing there.

To ensure data consistency, simultaneously with the version 3.0, a draft of version 3.0 is published on the web. This "draft" differs from the original version by indicating all changes in this version in different colours. Red colour: new datasets, green colour: revised datasets from Kusber & Metzeltin (2001); blue colour: changes due to editing including standardization and correction of typographical errors.
