The genus and species names first appeared in a publication in 2016, but were not validly published under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. A correction was published online in 2021.[3] As of April 2024[update], the correction was not accepted by the International Fossil Plant Names Index, as the publication of the genus name gave two type species.[1]
