Synonyms
Many formerly independent genera have in more recent times been included in ''Infurcitinea''. Some of them – e.g. ''Karsholtia'', ''Omichlospora'' and ''Tineiforma'' – are still considered distinct by some authors today. But this seems hardly justified, as splitting off such small or even
monotypic
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispe ...
