Remarks:
Morris (1870: 227)
validated the name
triatomella
.
However, he referred to
Doubleday (1859: 35)
for the identity of the species. Doubleday, in turn, gave
triatomea
as a ‘synonym’ of
triatomella
. However, Haworth (1828: 535) is the first author of the name
triatomea
. Therefore
triatomella
Morris, 1870
is a secondary junior synonym of
Porrectaria triatomea
Haworth, 1828
.
