Bulletin de la Classe Physico-Mathématique de l'Académie Impériale des Sciences de Saint-Pétersbourg 10: 337 [tax. nov.]

• Type: "Drum. coll. V, n. 147."

• Comment: Although a separate description is not given for the species the name is validly published by provision of a full description on p. 336 for the genus, which was then monotypic (descriptio generico-specifica; ICN Art. 38.5 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
