Note. Leucothoides pottsi Schellenberg, 1938 is considered a junior synonym of Anamixis torrida Barnard, 1974 because Barnard synonymized this reference, leaving the original description of Leucothoides pottsi as a valid species. It has since been synonymized with Anamixis cavatura . This species is based only on a leucomorph and should not be considered valid until it can be connected with its anamorph counterpart.
