Summary The name Amphidoma ( Dinophyceae ) is not recommended for conservation as being of feminine gender and with a conserved type because the feminine gender is already established, and because there is no known evidence to show that the existing type ( A. acuminata ) is not congenric with A. nucula , the type proposed for conservation. The name Heterocapsa ( Dinophyceae ) is recommended for conservation with a conserved type. Two requests for binding decisions were considered, Cosmarium geminatum and C. gemmatum ( Streptophyta ), and Trigonium ( Bacillariophyta ) and Trigonum ( Streptophyta ). The NCA did not consider the names concerned sufficiently similar to be confused and recommended that they not be treated as homonyms.
