Taxonomy
The genus was erected based on a single specimen (part and counterpart) retrieved from an exposure in the Alburni mountains near Petina, in the Campania region. The locality was already known for both crustacean and plant fossils.[2] The name is dedicated to the collector of the specimen, Giovanni Sagaria.[1]
