Bosedinia laevigata ssp. minor
Bosedinia laevigata subsp minor, (He Chengquan, 1991, p.173, pl.6, fig.19), He Chengquan et al., 2009, p.459.
Originally Bosedinia minor, subsequently (and now) Bosedinia laevigata subsp. minor.
Taxonomic junior synonym: Bosedinia laevigata var. minuta, according to He Chengquan et al. (2009, p.459). Although Bosedinia laevigata var. minuta was the first infraspecific taxon in Bosedinia laevigata, it was at variety rather than subspecific rank. At subspecific rank, the epithet minor has priority
Holotype: He Chengquan, 1991, pl.6, fig.19.
