Current status. Valid species. VINOKUROV (2012a,b) provided detailed description of the taxon but failed to indicate unequivocally the depository of the holotype, which made the species name unavailable according to the provisions of ICZN (1999). VINOKUROV (2013) provided a diagnose and valid holotype designation, including its depository, making the name available from that publication.
