Treated as invalid by CAS, and valid by INA. The description is minimal "It is a small lanceolate species of Stauroneis, somewhat like two dagger-blades placed hilt to hilt." but is sufficient for validation. No type locality of any kind was given by Hickie, who referred to prepared slides used for resolution tests. - (18 February 2016) - M.D. Guiry
