Remarks

Lehnhofer (1929, p.292, 293) considers this form as a variation of the species Sapphirina auronitens-sinuicauda, a position not followed by Crisafi & Mazza (1966). Boxshall & Halsey (2004, p.653) follow the position of Lehnhofer and consider the single denomination of Sapphirina auronitens.
