Matapa cresta.

Before he erected the name M. cresta in 1949, Evans had in his earlier works described this species under the name M. druna Moore , and what is druna under the name M. shalgrama de Niceville.
In this he seemed to have rely on de Niceville's revision of Matapa in 1884 , which have the description of druna in error , & the addition of a 'new' species , M shalgrama..

This has caused confusion in IDs to those relying on his book.

TL Seow : Cheers.
