Classification The generic classification of this species is doubtful. It was combined with Murella (Opica) by Wenz (1923). Opica Kobelt, 1904 is presently considered a synonym of Marmorana (Ambigua) Westerlund, 1903, which is why the species is tentatively classified in Marmorana. Revision required! [details]
