The feature was not identified as a basin before. It is faintly visible in the best Voyager images of the area, but only as an albedo marking. I would want to see it near the terminator before concluding that it was really a basin, or whether it's really elliptical. Only half of it is clearly seen, and it might be more circular, but affected by some overlapping feature.
