Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Mohekar et al. (2002) lists this species as collected from the west coast of Maharashtra, India (Karwar, 7.4.98); no literature citation was given. Extensive literature searches indicate that this paper was never published. The name Hexacanalis sephanensis is thus considered to be a nomen nudum, unavailable for nomenclatural purposes.
