Nomenclatural note
Invalid when first proposed (citation of basionym lacked the exact page of the protologue); validated by Bula-Meyer in Gabriel et al. (2010). Date cited is 2008 (presumably in error). There is no reference for Gabriel et al. 2008 in the list at the end of the paper. - (07 March 2007) - M.D. Guiry
