• Notes:
  • ❗ Loktanella sediminum is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Loktanella.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 2 times in PubMed until 2024-03-28.
  • 🧍 According to Ludwig et al. (2021), this "species affiliates away from its type species and may be reclassified as a new genus".
