Diagnosis	Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 760 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details.
Comment	Original description based on a single specimen.
Etymology	Named after Yirrkala Mission – the original author spelt the locality erroneously as Yirrkala Mission in the paper; note that the Code considers the name, as originally spelt as valid (unless the criteria of Article 32.5 apply, which requires evidence in the original publication itself of an inadvertent error).
