Taxonomy Authorship and validity is unclear. The name was introduced by El Beshbeeshy (1991) as O. stepanjanti, 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, Svoboda & Vervoort (1997) who gave a detailed description and also introduced the current spelling. [details]From other sources
