Diagnosis 
CommentBarrbadillo et al. (1999) mentioned this species with a description in a field guide before it was “officially” described by Hernández et al. (2000). The Code (Art 16.1) obligates to indicate new species with "sp. nov." or similar, but only for names published after 1999. However, the Barrbadillo guide is from 1999 (without any indication this being a new species) and hence in a “legal” grey zone (Oscar Arribas, pers. comm., 26 Jul 2016).
