Record Details:

Dictyosteliomycotina Caval.-Sm., Microbiol. Rev. 57: 971 (1993)

Editorial comment:
As 'Dictyostelia'; As 'Lister, 1909 stat. nov.'; ref. to Lister, Mycetozoa, in Lankester (ed.), Treatise of Zoology - 1 (Protozoa), Part 1: 65, 1909; but here the taxon is given as 'Order Dictyosteliaceae'. Since no families are listed below it is assumed that Lister is using order in the sense of 'Natural Order', that is equivalent to a family. The ending given would seem to confirm this. However, this is not the earliest use of the family name which dates back to 1877. The earliest use of the name at ordinal rank is that of Olive, Bot. Rev. 36: 70, 1970
