Synchaeta tremuloida Pourriot, 1965
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Synonym/s: Synchaeta tremuloides Pourriot, 1965
"The taxonomic status of this species was long uncertain. Treated as an infrasubspecific variant of S. tremula (Müller) by Koste (1978), Hollowday (2002) reinstated it at species rank, thereby acknowledging that "the taxon requires further study". Only recently, S. tremuloida was rediscovered in northern Germany and could be redescribed. Its taxonomic status as a distinct species could thereby be confirmed (Wilke et al., 2017)."
