In 1929, Kudô used the name ''Dielsia'' in reference to a plant in the [[Lamiaceae]], thus creating an illegitimate homonym.<ref>Kudô, Yushun. 1929.  Memoirs of the Faculty of Science and Agriculture Taihoku Imperial University 2(2): 143</ref> He also created one species in his genus, i.e.
*''Dielsia oreophila'' <small>(Diels) Kudô,</small> syn of ''[[Isodon oreophilus]]'' <small>(Diels) A.J.Paton & Ryding</small>
