Remarks
The use of subgenera within this genus is disputed. Breure (1978[1], 1979[2]) recognized Bothriembryon (Bothriembryon) and Bothriembryon (Tasmanembryon) while Kershaw (1986)[3], after a detailed study of external and internal morphology, concluded that his evidence suggested only one generic unit. We follow the opinion of Breure (1978[1], 1979[2]) supported in recent reviews (Smith 1992[4], Richardson 1995[5], Smith et al 2002[6]) and recognise two subgenera. Support for subgenera within Bothriembryon will be examined in a near-comprehensive molecular systematic assessment of the genus (Kirkendale et al. in prep.).
