RemarksThis species was first described in Bradea 3,3: 19 (1979), but a holotype was not cited, rendering the description invalid. It was later validated in the reference cited above. Charles Schweinfurth identified it as a new (see 62173) species of Prescottia back in 1934, but he never described it
