  • ❗ Aerosakkonematales is the correct name instead if this order is regarded as a separate order (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another order whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • ✏ The authority of the taxon name (Lefler et al.) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Moretto et al.).
