TYPE DEPOSITORY: of I. corticalis and L. (A.) elegans: not stated; of I. variolatus: Biological Laboratory, Matsuyama Shinonome Junior College, Matsuyama, Japan; accession number MSJC-BL 108.

TYPE LOCALITY AND HABITAT: of I. corticalis: Great Braxted, near Witham, Essex, England, on bark of fruit tree; of L. (A.) elegans: Nuremberg, Germany, in a garbage pile; of I. variolatus: Kuwabara, Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan, on unstated substrate.

NOTES: (a) Bregetova (1977a: 207) suspected L. (A.) elegans to be a junior synonym of I. corticalis; (b) Halliday et al. (1998: 24) considered I. corticalis to be a senior synonym of Iphidozercon californicus Chant. We adopted the interpretation of Gwiazdowicz & Halliday (2008: 49), considering them to be distinct species.
