Taxonomic remark According to Jirkov (1986) this species is a junior synonym of Samythella elongata. However, no type specimens of S. interrupta were observed to confirm the synonymy. The synonymy is deduced from the original description, which is flawed (description and figures do not match up), according to Jirkov (1986). [details]From other sources
