Abstract

In 1832 Ehrenberg transferred Müller and . Muller to a new genus, . Müller’s two species were renamed (Muller) Ehrenberg and . (Müller) Ehrenberg, respectively. A comparison of Müller’s description of . with Ehrenberg’s description of . , however, strongly indicates that the organisms described were not the same; therefore the name . should be related to the organism described by Ehrenberg. It is therefore requested that the Judicial Commission delete Müller’s name from the author citation for . (i.e., . Ehrenberg, not . [Müller] Ehrenberg). Although Ehrenberg included . and . in his new genus, he did not designate a type species. Stiles (1905) was apparently the first to designate the type species (. ), but the later designation of . as the type by Vuillemin (1913) is the designation that has been generally recognized. The acceptance of . as the type species is not only contrary to the rules of nomenclature [Rule 9c(3)] but also unfortunate because the name is a source of confusion and error. It is therefore requested that the Judicial Commission issue an opinion establishing . Ehrenberg as the type species of Ehrenberg and placing . on the list of rejected names. Wells’ strain (ATCC 19554) is designated as the neotype strain of . .
