Remarks:
Hahn (1980) regarded dinga as a nomen oblitum, but in error (Trape & Collet 2021), so these authors reinstated dinga as the valid name for the species
until then referred to as mucruso.
Since the latter name has been widely used in the literature, it is retained herein, pending as broader consensus to accept the name dinga.
