Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Given that the authors neither explicitly fixed a holotype to syntypes, nor included a statement of intent that types will be (or are) deposited in a collection and a statement indicating the name and location of that collection this species described after 1999, Article 16.4 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999) is violated. This name thus becomes unavailable for nomenclatural purposes.
