Taxonomic note
"Tanaka et al. (2010) established the new genus Vimineoleathesia to accommodate Leathesia japonica
Inagaki. However their molecular topology clearly shows L. japonica nested within the genus Botrytella Bory
de Saint-Vincent." (Silberfeld, Rousseau & Reviers 2014: 133, footnote). - (20 June 2014) - M.D. Guiry
