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.
