Misapplied names (fide Papenfuss in Seagrief, 1984: 8):
Chrysymenia uvaria.—Mazza, 1907 [1905–1918]: 194–195.— Delf & Michell, 1921: 109.
Botryocladia uvaria.—Stephenson, 1944: 306.
INDIAN OCEAN DISTRIBUTION: Madagascar, South Africa.
Note: Papenfuss, realizing that South African records of Botryocladia uvaria pertained to a distinct species, proposed the name B. natalensis, which was used by Stephenson (1944: 350) without a description. Prior to the validation of this name, however, G. Feldmann described the same species from Madagascar.
