The "Linens ruber" complex includes two described species (Linens ruber an L. viridis) and one not yet described species ("abberrant type") from the coast areas of Northern Europe. L. ruber and L. viridis differ from each other in color of their bodies and specific features in their development. However, the distinction in body's color is not always well determined. L. gurjanovae and L. ushakovi are synomized with L. viridis. The genus Poseidon Girard 1852 with the type species Poseidon colei Girard 1852 (=L. ruber) is restored for L. ruber and L. viridis.
