Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Rego (1992) redescribed Gibsoniela mandube and considered this species as senior synonym of Endorchis mandube, which was previously corroborated by de Chambrier (1990); after re-examination of the type (both species) and newly collected material, de Chambrier and Vaucher (1999) assumed that they represent two distinct species of the genus Gibsoniela, thus they proposed G. meursaulti to avoid the homonomy with the specimens tentatively identified as E. mandube.
