Note: the identity of this species was unclear
for a long time and some of the taxa that are
now in the above synonymy were formerly
regarded as separate species. In addition, Trichosia
edwardsi was believed to be a synonym of
the present species, but is now regarded as a
separate species and actually belongs in a separate genus.
Note: the identity of Sciara coarctata was unclear as well. It has been regarded as the valid name for the species Leptosciarella hispida.
