Nomenclatural note
The original combination proposed by Y. Hada (1968: 5) was invalid under the ICN as the genus name was invalid at that time. The genus name was validated in Y. Hara & Chihara (1987: 161) but the name was attributed to Y. Hada ( Y. Hara & Chihara 1987: 162) but it is not clear if this was intentional or a misunderstanding. - (19 May 2017) - M.D. Guiry
