The species cannot be identified owing to the untrustworthiness of the later authorities who attempt its identification. - [Previous: v2.c4.s5.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.20) - [Next: v2.c4.s5.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.22) - [Up: v2.c4.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.21) · Pramāṇa
