[request]From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Rizzo & Salazar-Vallejo (2014; 281) publish a mention of this database record as being incorrect when they viewed it, but did not alert a WoRMS editor of this. The record arises from Hartman's usage (1964, and in the 1959 catalogue) when she recombined Gyptis incompta as Oxydromus incomptus [details]Publication date Hartman used Ehlers' 1912 work as the basis for Gyptis incompta, which she converted to Oxydromus incomptus, but the description was published elsewhere in 1913 [details]
