MycoBank number: MB 836388; Index Fungorum number: IF 836388; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08873.

Bas.: Sagedia ziziphi A. Massal., Miscell. Lichenol.: 30 (1856); Porina ziziphi (A. Massal.) Zahlbr., Cat. Lich. Univers. 1: 410 (1922); Spermatodium ziziphi (A. Massal.) Trevis., Conspect. Verruc.: 12 (1860); Strigula ziziphi (A. Massal.) Cl. Roux & Sérus. in Roux & Sérusiaux, Biblioth. Lichenol. 90: 55 (2004).

= Strigula mediterranea Etayo, Lichenologist 25: 258 (1993); Porina schizospora Vain., Term. Füz. 22: 340 (1899) [non Strigula schizospora R. Sant., Symb. Bot. Upsal. 12(1): 175 (1952)].

Notes: The epithet schizospora, based on Porina schiz- ospora Vain. (Vainio 1899), was blocked for use in Strigula by S. schizospora R. Sant. (Santesson 1952), which required the replacement name S. mediterranea (Etayo 1993). The epithet schizospora is theoretically available in Dichoporis but is predated by Sagedia ziziphi (Massalongo 1856). The identity of both taxa was established by Roux and Sérusiaux (2004). The species was recently reported also from Brazil (Cavalcante and Cáceres 2014).
