Taxonomy

History

Hodophilus was described by French mycologist Roger Heim in 1957, but this was invalid because he did not include a Latin diagnosis for the genus, as was required by the rules of nomenclature at the time. The name Hodophilus was later (1958) validly published, but it was generally regarded as synonymous with the genus Camarophyllopsis.

Current status

Recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, indicates that Hodophilus is monophyletic and forms a natural group distinct from Camarophyllopsis.
