Redescription
Scientific Name Notes This appears to be a species of Spiniloculus rather than Yorkeria. In the absence of type material, the status of this species is unclear. In addition, the second author's name was originally given as Viyaya Laxmi. This has been corrected here to Viyaya Lakshmi to reflect the more common spelling of this authors name in her other publications.
