Notes
Recent studies on morphology, karyotype, genetics including allozyme constitution and reproductive behaviour of 'S-' and 'L-type' B. plicatilis showed that these types are best treated as different species. A reexamination of existing available names revealed B. plicatilis O.F. Muller, 1786 and B. rotundiformis Tschugunoff, 1921 as the correct names for the 'L-' and 'S-type', respectively.
