Note: Anaptychia ciliaris is cited with the authorities (L.) Körb. ex A. Massal. in Index Fungorum, but Kurokawa (1962: 10) explaines "It has long been thought that the genus Anaptychia was first proposed by Massalongo in his "Memorie Lichenografiche" in 1853. Actually Körber published Anaptychia as a nomen novum for the genus Hagenia Eschw. in 1848. Even though Körber did not publish a diagnosis for Anaptychia, the name must be considered as validly published because he cited Hagenia as a synonym and pointed out that Hagenia Eschw. was a later homonym of Hagenia Gmel. The genus Hagenia Eschw. is typified by H. ciliaris (L.) Eschw., so that the type species of Anaptychia is A. ciliaris (L.) Körb.". Moberg (2002: 10) in the Nordic Lichen Flora Vol. 2 follows this opinion.
