This is actually an invalid species at the moment. There has been no official description of this species and according to the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature, which governs the naming of taxa, it is not valid but rather a "nomen nudum". It may be officially named in the future but currently it is not.

Well, I figured you'd correct things if need be Chris.

Ha, yeah. This particular case has kind of become a pet-peve of mine. It basically was a publicity stunt that as far as I'm concerned makes a mockery of the scientific process. As a result, I make a point of drawing attention to the fact that its a bogus name at every chance I get.
