Taxonomic note
Skaloud et al. (2018: 195) "Known only from a single collection, Bangladesh (Sundarbans Mangrove forest, Khulna). Without molecular data and without a type specimen for W. sundarbanensis, the identity of the type specimens will remain unknown, and species level identification of field material by morphology alone is not possible in Wittrockiella, therefore it has been recommended that this name should not be used anymore (see Boedeker et al. 2017)." - (17 March 2018) - M.D. Guiry
