Notes:— Schweinfurth (1868) described the species and attributed the name to Schultz Bipontinus, as well as mentioned the following localities: “im Soturba-Gebirge an der Nubischen Küste (22º n. Br.), an den Bergen Castle Hill und Gebel Schellāl gesammelt und unter Nr. 365 und 364 seiner Sammlung vertheilt” and cited two syntypes: 364 and 365. Qaiser studied the original gathering kept at P and G and added a label indicating that that these specimens are syntypes. However, even though he cited these two specimens later on ( Qaiser & Lack 1985: 13, 1986: 448), no lectotype was designated. We chose the specimen G 00018234 because it is in a good state of preservation, matches the original description quite well and bears several well-preserved capitula.
