Remarks: Simone & Jardim published a description of this species in Rios (2009). Nevertheless, it did not fulfill the requirements of ICZN articles 16.1 (the species’ name must be explicitly indicated as intentionally new) and 16.4 (fixation of name-bearing types must be explicit). In the following year, Jardim & Simone (2010a) published a new description with detailed figures and a holotype designation. However, since the new name was not explicitly and intentionally indicated, the requirements of ICZN article 16.1 were still not met in that paper. To correct this, the name Hanleya brachyplax was formally introduced in a subsequent note by Jardim & Simone (2010b), which is the only valid description.
