From editor or global species database
Classification Imajima & Hartman (1964) made the recombination to Pseudopotamilla, apparently considering the 4-lobed collar Pseudopotamilla-like, although they say the species lacks radiolar eyes (typical of Pseudopotamilla). Tovar-Hernández et al (2020) seem to credit this recombination to the WoRMS database. Not so, WoRMS only follows usages in the literature. [details]
