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.
Anamorph

Anamorphs unknown.
Habitat.
Among turtle grass and
Halimeda
;
0–1 meter
