Case 3886 – Alexandrium Halim, 1960 (Dinoflagellata, Gonyaulacidae): confirmation of treatment as an animal taxon
The purpose of this application, under Articles 1.1.1, 11 and 13 of the ICZN Code, is to confirm that the nominal genus Alexandrium Halim, 1960, proposed for an ecologically and economically important group of dinoflagellates, was originally treated as an animal taxon for the purposes of nomenclature, and that the genus-group name is available under the ICZN, even though the taxon is currently not classified as animal.
