Taxonomic remark The history of this name is quite complicated. Hallez (1879) mentions the name, and in 1894 he puts it in synonymy with Mesostomum viridatum. However, according to Graff (1903; 1913) these specimens were wrongly identified, and in 1903 Graff introduces a new species for these specimens: Mesostoma stimulosum. Already Fuhrmann (1894: p. 241) expressed serious doubts about the identification by Hallez. Note that Fuhrmann misspells the epithet as Typhloplana viridis, which was also mentioned by Graff (1913: p. 262). Markow (1904) still refers to these specimens as T. viridata. [details]

Taxonomic remark The history of this name is quite complicated. Hallez (1879) mentions the name, and in 1894 he puts it in synonymy with Mesostomum viridatum. However, according to Graff (1903; 1913) these specimens were wrongly identified, and in 1903 Graff introduces a new species for these specimens: Mesostoma stimulosum. Already Fuhrmann (1894: p. 241) expressed serious doubts about the identification by Hallez. Note that Fuhrmann misspells the epithet as Typhloplana viridis, which was also mentioned by Graff (1913: p. 262). Markow (1904) still refers to these specimens as T. viridata. [details]
