The English summary in the original text erects the nomenclatuure “meidus” for this specimen but the Chinese text designates the species “chuonzhous” which in itself is published as a typographical error. The correct Pinyin romanization should read “chuanzhous.” Thus should be regarded a nomen nudum and C. chuonzhous regarded the legitimate nomenclature.
