Taxonomic history

The species was first described, then named as Cuthona herrerai in 2002. It was a Cuthona species until a DNA phylogeny of the former family Tergipedidae resulted in most species of Cuthona being transferred to the genus Tenellia, including Cuthona herrerai which became Tenellia herrerai. [3]

Distribution

This species was described from Tarrafal de Monte Trigo, Santo Antão, Cape Verde Islands. [1]
