Gaillonella is the name given to a genus of diatoms by Bory de Saint-Vincent (1823, p. 393). The genus was described in the article “Confervtes”, but the type species, Confewa moniliformis OF Miiller (1783), was not designated until Bory published a special article,“Gaillonelle”, in 1825. The entry that was contributed to the Index Nominum Genericorum (Plantarum)(Farr et al. 1979) by Robert Ross and the entry in Fourtanier & Kociolek (1 999) are incorrect in that they give 1825 as the date of valid publication of the generic name rather than 1823.The genus was named for Franqois Benjamin Gaillon (1 782-1 839), a lesser-known French biologist who made his livelihood as a customs officer in Dieppe. Gaillon considered all those algae that are motile themselves or have motile reproductive stages to be animals, which he placed in the unranked group Nemazoaires. Diatoms constituted the subgroup Navicultes. The bibliographic complexity of Gaillon’s chief publication, Aperp d’histoire naturelle (1 833), is discussed by Silva (1 959). In commemorating Gaillon, Bory was possibly acknowledging Gaillon’s discovery that the discoloration of oysters was caused by a microorganism that Bory recognized as a diatom (Vibrio ostrearius Gaillon 1820, the type species of the genus Haslea Simonsen 1974). Presumably to emphasize the animal nature of these algae, Gaillon changed existing generic names to their diminutive equivalents. Thus, eg, Achnanthes was changed to Achnantella, Nostoc to Nostocella, and Vaucheria to Vaucheriella. A less likely explanation is that he liked the euphony of the ending as used by Lyngbye for Echinella, C. Agardh for Nitella, and Bory for Gaillonella. Whatever the reason, he adopted Bory‘s generic name and published two specific names within the genus, G. moniliformis (OF Muller) Gaillon and G. jurgensii (C. Agardh) Gaillon (Meloseira jurgensii C. Agardh). The first of these combinations was incorrectly attributed to Bow.
