From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Sowerby & Sowerby's figures are unmistakably caespitosa. His (their) later attribution of material from the Cape (in Mörch 1863: 369-370) should most probably be attributed to Pomatoleios kraussii [details]From other sources
Type locality Africa and Australia [details]
