Distribution : "Metzgeria temperata was synonymised with the primarily pantropical Metzgeria consanguinea by Hill et al. (2008). However, unpublished molecular studies show that the European populations are closer to Metzgeria violacea than to the Japanese Metzgeria temperata (see Köckinger 2017). Until the position of the European Metzgeria ‘temperata’ is clarified, we use the name Metzgeria consanguinea, although with some hesitation."
