Summary The monospecific genus Oligandra Less has been maintained as separate because of its heterogamous heads with female flowers outnumbering a few hermaphrodite sterile flowers. However a careful study shows Oligandra to be a synonym of Lucilia Cass. A new combination Lucilia lycopodioides (Less.) Freire is proposed, with neotype for the basionym.
