Taxonomic notes
The Luticola muticopsis complex is split into L. muticopsis s.s. and two so far unidentified forms (L. aff. muticopsis 1 and L. aff. muticopsis 2) that were formerly attributed to L. muticopsis but which show distictive features that separate them from L. muticopsis s.s. (Van de Vijver & Mataloni 2008). - (12 Nov 2008) - Wendy Guiry
