This species is in the process of being changed buy us and John Sheard to the genus Amandinea based on microscopic characters. There is a possibility as well that new species may have been discovered in this group.; P. F. May 2253A [FH], E. Lay 94-0680 [FH], P. F. May 2122 [FH], L. Berard 2279 [FH], more...
