Nomenclatural notes
Lukomska-Kowalczyk et al. (2020:1150) note that Phacus alatus was described by Klebs (1883) when he came to the conclusion that the morphological form identified by Stein (1878) as P. triqueter (pl. 19, figs 55-57) represented a new species to science. - (10 December 2020) - G.M. Guiry
Cited as basionym of P. pusillus by Karnkowska-Ishikawa et al. (2010: 178). Is this a mistake? - (16 March 2010) - G.M. Guiry
