Longest name part

[Linda at]

Taxacomers:
I've been charged with setting the field length for
each part of a taxonomic name for a relational database. We'd like to
make it as short as possible, but still long enough to accomodate known
existing names.

The longest name in the NODC Tax. Code at the moment is:

Archaeosphaerodiniopsidaceae (28 characters)

Anyone know of any names longer than 28 characters?
For this purpose, I'm only interested in the longest name
PART...that is, the genus length ONLY, the specific epithet
length ONLY, etc.

Thanks!
