Redescription
Scientific Name Notes -Yamaguti (1959) used these names together and was probably the first author to do so; however, he did it incorrectly, without putting MacCallum in parentheses. Freze (1965) reported Hilmy (1936) as the author of this combination, but it does not appear in Hilmy’s (1936) work.
