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