Validity This ‘genus’ was erected under the rules of the Phylocode, which does not recognize ranks or type species. The ‘definition’ of Tetralophosa is quoted from the original paper: ‘(nomen cladi novum) (branch-based) the most inclusive clade containing Plakina trilopha Schulze, 1880 and not Plakina monolopha Schulze, 1880 and Corticium candelabrum Schmidt, 1862’. The ‘genus’ name is unavailable, and the contents are to be reverted to the synonymy of genus Plakina Schulze, 1880 until their status as members of Homosclerophorida have been made under the Code of the ICZN. Phylocode and Linnean classifications show fundamental differences. The WPD and WoRMS have committed themselves to the latter. [details]
