Nomenclatural note
Seemingly originally first introduced without a description, but validated by analytical figures (ICN Art. 38.7 "For the purpose of Art. 38.5, prior to 1 January 1908, an illustration with analysis (see Art. 38.9 and 38.10) is acceptable in place of a written description or diagnosis."). Lectoytypification is unecessary since there is a single element. - (27 November 2022) - E.A. Molinari Novoa
