Remarks.

Although probably unintentionally, Papp and Thenius (1952) briefly described and thus validly introduced the taxon. The spelling " brevisesta " is probably a lapsus calami for " brevitesta " (Latin for "short shell"), as used in the re-description by Papp (1955: 126, pl. 20, figs 10-14). Nevertheless, " brevisesta " is the correct name following Art. 32.5.1 and " brevitesta " is an incorrect subsequent spelling.
