| Abstract: | As revision of diatom taxonomy has become crucial to many recent palaeolimnological studies, the number of nomenclatural changes required has increased. Publication and validation of new names for diatoms is governed by a set of principles published periodically and known collectively as the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. Creation of a computerised taxonomic database, designed to record recent nomenclatural changes, has revealed many of the names published to be invalid as they fail to comply with all requirements of the code. This paper outlines briefly the criteria needed to validly publish new or revised taxa. |
