Taxonomic remark From AlgaeBase (2020 version): The generic name Melobesia Foslie is typified (ICBN Art. 10.1) by the type of M. farinosa, the lectotype species and one of 18 species originally (Foslie 1898) included in the genus. Although validly published, Melobesia Foslie (1898) is an illegitimate later homonym (ICBN Art. 53) of Melobesia J.V. Lamouroux (1812) [and of Melobesia Heydrich (1897)] (ICBN Art. 53). Consequently, Melobesia Foslie (1898), which is not conserved, must be rejected (ICBN Art. 45.3). The complicated nomenclatural history of the name Melobesia Foslie is summarized by Woelkerling (1988: 119). [details]
