Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based. In the original paper he made twice an error in the name, which was corrected in Pfeiffer (1861a; without explicit comment), and Pfeiffer (1868; "sphalm. Saturanus "); this is treated as a lapsus calami under Art. 32.1 jo. 24.2.4 ICZN. Breure and Borrero (2008: 28) have pointed out that “Pallatanga” could not be assigned unequivocally to a locality, as it is found twice in modern gazetteers.

Current systematic position.

Orthalicidae , Porphyrobaphe (Porphyrobaphe) saturnus (Pfeiffer, 1860).
