Redescription
Scientific Name Notes The authors were apparently unaware of the tens of other members of the genus and have thus failed to distinguish this species effectively from its congeners. The description is insufficient in this context. In addition, despite what it says in the publication and inquiries, type material is NOT available at stated place of deposition and the host identity is suspect. The species is therefore considered a Species inquirenda.
