The genus Sellaphora: an addition and corrections.

Abstract

Examination of further British specimens of Sellaphora species from Blackford Pond, Edinburgh, revealed that the 'spindle' deme described in a previous paper [D.G. MANN et al. (2008). Fottea 8: 15-78] was incorrectly characterized. Two demes were conflated: true 'spindle' and a further deme referred to here as 'cf. auldreekie'. The coxl DNA Barcode specified for 'spindle' by MANN et al. (2008) was correct, but was linked to the wrong illustrations and description, which were of 'cf. auldreekie'. These errors and three references to a slide preparation are corrected.
