Taxonomic remark The name of this species is presented ambiguously by the authors. The text uses the name infrasubgenerica sp.nov., but the caption of Figure 3 uses the name intermedia sp.nov. It is likely that the authors discovered belatedly that their first proposed name H. (C.) intermedia was already preoccupied by H. (H.) intermedium Ijima, 1927. Thus, a new name was proposed but the caption of Figure 3 remained unchanged unfortunately. Since the name change is clear and the name intermedia is a junior homonym, which is permanently unavailable, there is no harm done. For completeness sake we still incorporated the mistaken name as a separate nomenclatural act (q.v.). [details]
