Remarks: Since its discovery and subsequent description, no additional specimens of this genus and species have been collected. Barrio-Amorós (1998) emended the name sosai to sosae (as the species was dedicated to a woman), without explanation. Naming here follows Article 31.1.2 of the Code in retaining the emendation of sosae, the - ae ending. Selected references: Señaris et al. (1994).
