Taxonomic note
Based on phylogenetic analyses carried out by Yamada et al. (2008), six strains of E. unicocca form two clades. They conclude that the two groups could be classified as two species. They designate the monophyletic group comprising strains of E. unicocca var. unicocca sensu Goldstein (1964) as E. unicocca, and designate the other group, including E. unicocca var. peripheralis, as E. peripheralis (figs. 9, 10). - (14 November 2008) - G.M.
