Systematics: Lindinger (1933a) realized when he synonymized the genera Rhizococcus, Eriococcus and Gossyparia with Nidularia that the species Gossyparia casuarinae Maskell (1893b) and Rhizococcus casuarinae Maskell (1893b) would be homonyms. As the first reviser, he apparently proposed the replacement name Nidularia chalazgamarum for Rhizococcus casuarinae and maintained Nidularia casuarinae for what Maskell considered to be Gossyparia. This action is fairly obscure in Lindinger (1933a) and Hoy (1963) incorrectly interpreted it as an invalid replacement name.
General Remarks: Cursory description by Maskell (1897). Type information by Deitz & Tocker (1980).
