12659

Comment:
Hartweg's remarks were insufficient to distinguish this species from others and thus do not constitute a diagnosis, but Shenzhen ICN 38.1(a) requires that there be a description or diagnosis, and the former was satisfied by these remarks (K. Gandhi et al., pers. comm. via e-mail on 1 May 2009)
