Tatia musaica status question

The comment in the Sarmento revision puzzles me:

Tatia musaica Royero, 1992 - Tatia musaica (Ferraris, 2007) - “Centromochlus” musaicus [incertae sedis in Centromochlinae]
Taxonomic status: Valid, incertae sedis in Centromochlinae

So, is it valid as T. musaica, C. musaica or yet unknown which genus it should belong to?

It seems like CoF has it as Centromochlus musaica. Fishbase sees it as Centromochlus musaicus. In this case, I'd be inclined to follow fishbase.

Thoughts?

Does anyone have (access to) the 1992 description of Tatia musaica?
If so, can we have a post of the "Etymology" part of the description?

It would help solve the mystery of the correct name, and also allow me to add the Etymology entry in the Cat-eLog entry for this fish!
