International audience; This chapter is to be used as companion text with the companion chapter, an illustrated catalogue of Paleozoic radiolarian genera found in this volume, and serves the purpose of giving the reader explanation for any taxonomic operations undertaken during the course of constructing the catalogue. These operations refer to the status of the genera as valid, junior synonym, homonym, nomen nudum, nomen dubium, or not Radiolaria. We also include diagnoses and/or descriptions in the original language published, English translations where needed, and locality and age information for the type material.; Cet article est un complément indispensable de la partie catalogue illustré des genres de radiolaires paléozoïques (article précédent) ; il a pour ambition de donner au lecteur toutes les informations taxonomiques nécessaires qui expliquent les changements introduits au cours de la construction du catalogue. Les statuts des genres, argumentés, sont fournis : valide, synonyme junior, homonyme, nomen nudum, nomen dubium, ou non radiolaire. De plus, il propose des traductions en Anglais des diagnoses ou définitions des genres publiées dans diverses langues et des informations sur la localité et l’âge du matériel type.
