Ommatoiulus vilnensis was described as Schizophyllum vilnense by Jawłowski
(1925). Later, LOHMANDER (1927) placed S. vilnense in his new genus Sarmatiulus Lohmander, 1927.
Then, LOHMANDER (1928) sy...
Ommatoiulus vilnensis was described as Schizophyllum vilnense by Jawłowski
(1925). Later, LOHMANDER (1927) placed S. vilnense in his new genus Sarmatiulus Lohmander, 1927.
Then, LOHMANDER (1928) synonymized Rossiulus Attems, 1927 (already erected invalidly in 1926) under
Sarmatiulus. Further, ATTEMS (1952: 363) pretended priority and placed Rossiulus as a subgenus within
the genus Schizophyllum Verhoeff, 1895 (= Schizophyllum (Rossiulus) vilnensis). HOFFMANN (1980: 113) synonymized Schizophyllum with Ommatoiulus Latzel, 1880 and moved all former subgenera of
Schizophyllum under Ommatoiulus (= Ommatoiulus (Rossiulus) vilnensis). Nevertheless, the name Rossiulus vilnensis remained in use, e.g. CHORNYI & GOLOVATCH (1993) or KIME & ENGHOFF (2017). AKKARI &
ENGHOFF (2012) gave an overview of the history of the nomenclature of the genus Ommatoiulus and
supported the view of Rossiulus as a synonym of Ommatoiulus.
In addition to the taxonomy based on morphology, COI barcoding data of O. vilnensis and several
other species of the genus Ommatoiulus throughout Europe support the synonymy of Rossiulus and
clearly show, that O. vilnensis nests within Ommatoiulus.
