Note  Spelling: Originally written as R. prideaux, a name rejected by Jeffreys (1867) and many subsequent authors in favour of the posterior rhombea Berkeley, 1827. The emendation as prideauxi has become in quite prevalent usage but not so clearly prevalent as to apply unequivocally ICZN art. 33.2.3.1 [details]
