Abstract
The freshwater algal palynomorph genus Lecaniella Cookson & Eisenack 1962 is found to be a junior homonym of the thallophytic lichen genus Lecaniella Jatta 1889. The new name Zygnematiella is here proposed as a replacement for Lecaniella Cookson & Eisenack, and the appropriate systematic reassignments are made.
