Nomenclature One of the varieties microstella or megastella is the typical variety and needs to be named multistella. Van Soest et al. (2020: 40) proposed the variety microstella as the typical variety, thus removing the senior primary homonymy of this variety with its junior homonymy Timea microstella Sarà, 1990.
