From editor or global species database
Synonymy The variety was described by Hyatt from from Tenerife, collected by Mr Codman, approximate coordinates 28.46636°N 16.24821°W (holotype MCZ PORa-7050). There are currently three Dysidea species reported from Tenerife, cf. Cruz (2002: 210-213), and of these, D. avara (Schmidt, 1862), appears to answer most closely to Hyatt’s remarks. I tentatively propose the var. codmani as a likely junior synonym of that species. [details]
