replaced synonym: Ceratium tripos var. digitatum Lemmerm. legitimate

• Type comment: This is a new name for C. tripos var. digitatum Lemmerm. Cleve could not change the status of this variety to a species without producing a latter homonym for Ceratium digitatum Schutt. He therefore gave the species a new name.
