editorial
Currently this is usually accepted either as Pseudoblindia lewinskyae (J.K.Bartlett & Vitt) Fedosov, M.Stech & Ignatov or Kiaeria lewinskyae (J.K.Bartlett & Vitt) Brinda, Ignatov & Fedosov (2023) . Allan Fife (May 2024) suggested accepting it in Pseudoblindia, however that is apparently an illegitimate name. He rejected placement in Kiaeria, hence it has been retained in Blinda. [April 2025]
