Note: in the past, the species of the genus
Leucochloridium and related genera have been thoroughly confused and
misidentified (see e.g. Szidat 1936; Hsue 1936; Rietschel 1972; Bakke 1978; Bakke 1980; Casey et al. 2003).
The present species has mostly been incorrectly referred to as
"Leucochloridium macrostomum". The taxonomic confusion also led some
authors to propose that all taxa are actually identical. This added to
the confusion, because not only were species misidentified and confused,
but also were confused taxa synonymized incorrectly. Therefore, reports
of species of Leucochloridiidae in the older literature should be taken
with salt.

Identification
|
The
banding pattern and the green colour of the mature sporocyst broodsac
are very characteristic and readily distinguish the species from the
other species of this genus (Rietschel 1972).
