Comment:
Stoermer, E. G., R. G. Kreis, Jr. and N. A. Andresen in J. Great Lakes Res. 25(3):515-566: Krammer and Lange-Bertalot (1985) propose Amphora submontana Hust. as asynonym of Amphora montana and cite their synonymy decision in 1986. Simonsen (1987) claims the wrong slide (i.e. specimen) was used for the decision. Lange-Bertalot and Krammer (1987) acknowledge the correct Hustedt type and maintain their synonymy. The resolution of this problem requires careful examination of the Hustedt and Krasske types along with other collections to determine the variablity existing within the taxa to determine whether there are two distinct taxa or one taxon with a degree of variability
