Redescription
Scientific Name Notes The authors neither explicitly fixed a holotype to syntypes, nor included a statement of intent that types will be (or are) deposited in a collection and a statement indicating the name and location of that collection. Thus, type material is essentially NOT available. In addition, this species is unrecognizable based on its original description. It is therefore considered a species inquirenda.
