Status Known only from the type locality, and never reported subsequently. As the type is lost and the original description is poor and not illustrated, this taxon will probably never be properly defined, and is thus considered as a nomen dubium. Zibrowius (1980) suggests that it may be a juvenile specimen of Desmophyllum dianthus. [details]
