Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Schmidt (1986) created this new combination. This species is unrecognizable based on its original description. In addition, despite what it says in the publication and inquiries, type material is NOT available at stated place of deposition. The species is therefore considered a species inquirenda in its original combination.
