Notes

The original description of Mammillaria leucodictia indicates that the taxon has bristles, and there is a clear distinction between radial and central spines. On the other hand, the author classifies his new taxon as a member of the serie Leucocephalae or Heteracanthae, both taxonomic groups correspond to Mammillaria. The name Mammillaria leucodictia must be excluded from the synonymy of Epithelantha micromeris.A
