Taxonomic History

2025
Holothele incurva Dupérré & Tapia, 2025
As with H. tsala, described into the older, wider concept of Holothele, in a paper published a fortnight after Sherwood et al. (2025) restricted the genus and moved five species to Caribothele. Neither work cites the other. Left as published.
