Errata, Corrigenda & Comments | Beware that Andersen interchanged the names of several species following examination of the types. To reduce confusion these have subsequently been returned to their original usage following ICZN intervention, but this makes the present work misleading so any identification therefrom should be checked for the current interpretation of the name. |
