Taxonomy and systematics
This species was originally described as Centrolenella duidaeana. However, most subsequent studies have placed it in the genus Cochranella.[1][3] A study published in 2002 suggested that it belongs to the Cochranella spinosa group.[1] However, morphological data do not allow unambiguous generic placement. With no molecular data available, it is for the time being retained in Cochranella.[1][2]
