Nomenclatural notes
Athanasidis (2016: 415) considered this name invalid as "No (holo)type (or any gathering) indicated, apart from 'déc.1972 .. une localité'. Art. 40.3 does not apply as several illustrations were included. Hence an invalid name (Art. 40.1; 40.2)." However, Woelkerling (2018) provided convincing arguments that the name is valid. - (06 February 2017) - M.D. Guiry
1977: 133, figs 1-4 (INA). - (22 June 2015) - G.M. Guiry

Habitat note
