From editor or global species database
Nomenclature Polyrhiza is considered a doubtful genus because only Ehrenberg and Haeckel observed specimens; description by Ehrenberg insufficient, but in more detail by Agassiz (1862). Stiasny (1922) and Kramp (1955) considered it a synonym of Netrostoma coerulescens. [details]
