Taxonomy

Citation: Botryostrobus auritus (Ehrenberg 1844) Nigrini 1977

Rank: species

Basionym: Lithocampe aurita Ehrenberg 1844

Synonyms:

Botryostrobus auritus-australis (Ehrenberg 1844) Nigrini 1977 group
Lithocampe aurita Ehrenberg 1844
Lithocampe australis Ehrenberg 1844

Since L. australis was not properly described the correct name for this grouping is B. auritus [editor's comment - JRY 2019]

Taxonomic discussion: This appears be an informal name for the two species Lithocampe aurita & Lithocampe australis, both Ehrenberg (1844)
