Fontana & Pellizzari (2001) critically reviewed the status of this species and concluded that Lecanopsis rhizophila Targioni Tozzetti, 1868 is a valid species, but its taxonomic characters are unown.
- Biology: Fontana & Pellizzari (2001) reviewed the status of the host plant of this species and concluded that the roots of Gramineae are the host plant.
