Taxonomic note
Gómez et al. (2016: 269) propose the reinstatement of L.[eptocylindrus] mediterraneus under the genus Dactylosolen as D. mediterraneus (H. Péragallo) H. Péragallo. - (10 June 2016) - G.M. Guiry
Habitat note
Gómez et al., 2016: 272 discard a parasitic relationship, and suggest that the consortium Solenicola-Dactyliosolen could be an example of a unique and widespread mutualistic symbiosis (phoresy commensalism). - (10 June 2016) - G.M. Guiry
