Unreviewed
Descriptive info Hoilungia resembles Trichoplax morphologically and ultrastructurally but its single species, H. hongkongensis, is distinguished from isolates of Trichoplax adhaerens on molecular evidence, refer Eitel et al., 2018. [details]
Descriptive info Type material isolated in the Ho Chung River close to a small mangrove at Heung Chung village, Hong Kong (brackish-marine environment). [details]
Taxonomic remark The genus was initially described in an e-only journal (article published July 31, 2018) without the requisite ZooBank LSIDs (Life Science Identifiers) and so the new name(s) contained were unavailable according to the zoological Code. This was rectified in a correction published on September 19, 2018, which forms the valid publication of the new genus and species names. [details]
Type species as cited Hoilungia hongkongensis Eitel, Schierwater & Wörheide, 2018 [details]
