Taxonomic note
Taxon inquirendum (Cormaci, Furnari & Alongi 2014: 200), who wrote: "The species was reported by Berthold (1882: 497), with no description from S. Lucia (Naples, Italy). Wynne (2005: 252) erroneously attributed such a binomial to Funk as B. halymeniae Berthold ex Funk. For a wider discussion on this taxon see the paper by Furnari & Cormaci (2014)." - (03 July 2015) - M.D. Guiry
