Taxonomic note
Cormaci, Furnari & Alongi (2014: 263) comment on Mediterranean report of this species: "Einav (2007: 140) recorded from the Israelian Mediterranean coast the species Boodleopsis pusilla (F.S. Collins) W.R. Taylor, A.B. Joly et Bernatowicz. However, from both description and illustrations, Israelian thalli show features neither of that species nor of the genus Boodleopsis A. Gepp et E.S. Gepp. Therefore, both B. pusilla and the genus Boodleopsis are here considered as taxa excludenda." - (20 July 2015) - M.D. Guiry
