notes
Beuk (2002a), who spells the species name as eruciifolii, writes that the description is based on type material originating from the Netherlands. This is incorrect: the material was collected by Buhr in the nort of France (Hering, 1944a).
The Fauna Europaea (2008) gives 1944 as the year of publication.
