| 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). |
