The authorship and validity of Oswaldella stepanjantsae is somewhat unclear. The name was introduced by El Beshbeeshy (1991) as O. stepanjanti, but this work is not a valid taxonomic publication...
The authorship and validity of Oswaldella stepanjantsae is somewhat unclear. The name was introduced by El Beshbeeshy (1991) as O. stepanjanti, but this work is not a valid taxonomic publication. The name is not introduced in El Beshbeeshy & Jarms, 2011. The species must thus be attributed to Peña Cantero, Svoboda & Vervoort (1997) who gave a detailed description and also introduced the current spelling
