Remarks

Under the article title, Descript: Dr. Jos. Ger. Zuccarini is mentioned. For E. asterias (p. 13), no authorship is cited. The plate 3, however, shows Karw. (= Karwinski) as the author. On p. 17, it is stated that Karwinski collected this species from Mexico and sent it to Zuccarni under the name E. doctoralis. Therefore, Zuccarini’s ascription of E. asterias to Karwinski is treated as a formal error.
