Justification | Oscularia is in need of taxonomic revision and many species are poorly known. Klak in Manning and Goldblatt (2012) considers O. copiosa insufficiently distinct from O. comptonii to warrant recognition as a separate taxon. It is therefore listed as Data Deficient - Taxonomically Problematic (DDT). |
