That was back in 1985; the species is no longer in the genus 
Phthiria, unfortunately - it is now in Oligodranes, as I recall. All 
of those sorts of names are either on my home page 
(http://cache.ucr.edu/~heraty/yanega.html) or linked there (e.g., 
Phthiria relativitae is cited at 
http://cache.ucr.edu/~heraty/menke.html).

Peace,
