Scientific Name Notes Original description on page 503 of Dollfus (1969). It appears that Beveridge and Jones (2000) were the first to use this combination although it is not designated as such; in fact, for several species of Dollfusiella these authors erroneously (?) attribute the new combination to Campbell and Beveridge (1994) (note: in Campbell and Beveridge [1994] only E. carayoni and E. australis were transferred to Dollfusiella).
