The genus Fallacia, established by Stickle and Mann (Round et al. 1990), includes many small species that previously belonged to the genus Navicula Bory sensu lato. The genus Fallacia is characterized by a single H-shaped plastid, lateral sterna interrupting striae and finely porous conopeum completely and partly covering striae. The lateral depressed sterna exhibit lateral hyaline areas on the valve face, when observed by light microscope. Those lateral hyaline areas also present in Lyrella species, however, they lack the finely porous conopeum. Now there are over 100 species in the genus Fallacia (Guiry M. D. in Guiry M. D. and Guiry G. M. 2013). Recently a new genus Pseudofallacia was proposed (Liu et al. 2012). The genus Pseudofallacia shares some features with Fallacia, such as lateral longitudinal canals on either side of raphe, and finely porous conopea covers those canals. In contrast, the canals in Pseudofallacia were not composed by a depressed sternum interrupting striae, but a depressed part of the primary silica layer of valve along the raphe. The striae in Pseudofallacia are one large round to elongate areola per striae rather than several tiny areolae. Since the depressed lateral sterna, areolae and conopeum could only be observed by using electron microscopy is needed to review taxa in detail in order to identify them properly. Navicula hodgeana Patrick & Freese (1961) was first described based on the material from Rogers-Post Monument, Barrow, Alaska second judicial division. The species lives in fresh to brackish water environment. The holotype specimen was collected from scrapings of Morphology and Ultrastructure of Fallacia hodgeana (Bacillariophyceae)
