Abstract
The present work intends to demonstrate why the euglenas (Euglenophyceae) should be treated under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN, from now on). Most comprehensive treatments for the group have been made under previous versions of the ICN, and Google Scholar provide more hits when botanical terms (as “euglenophyta, euglenophyceae”) are introduced than when zoological terms (“euglenid, euglenozoa”) are used. Finally, recent scholars dealing with these algae considered themselves botanists.
