Status Authorship and validity is unclear. The name was introduced by El Beshbeeshy (1991), but this work is not a valid taxonomic publication. The name is not introduced in El Beshbeeshy & Jarms, 2011. Most probably the species must be attributed to Peña Cantero & Vervoort (2004) who gave a first, detailed description. [details]
