Remarks

The taxon name appeared as S. travelii in the heading of the original description and S. travellii in the figure caption. This taxon was listed as S. travellii in the sales catalog (Maynard, undated, 1924?:[3]). The spelling travelii  is considered an "incorrect original spelling" [Article 32.5.1, ICZN, 1999:39] and thus has no separate availability  [Article 32.4, ICZN, 1999:39].  Clench (1957:165) listed this taxon as S. travelii in his catalog.
