Redescription
Scientific Name Notes 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).
