The Mystery of Duplicatus: Unraveling the Taxonomic Puzzle

Duplicatus is a term used in taxonomy to describe a species that has been described more than once, often with different names. It can also refer to a species that has been rediscovered and given a new name, or one that has been misidentified as a different species. In the case of the paper you mentioned, the authors are suggesting that the species they have discovered may be a duplicatus of a previously described species, meaning that it may be a variation of that species rather than a distinct new species.
