Joseph Hutsebout (sic), the collector of the type specimens (Ref. 98676). Correct spelling of collector's name should be Hutsebaut (Gert Boden, pers. comm.).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
