Notes
- monobasic = founded containing a single species, same as "monotypic" if no more species are added
- gen. vern. = vernalis, genetically determined spring generation
- gen. aest. = aestivus, genetically determined summer generation
- gen. vest. = genetically determined vestigial form
- (!) = nomen collectivum, a nomenclatural/descriptive term incorrectly used by Curt Eisner in a taxonomic sense (infrasubspecific)
- i.l. = in litteris, correspondence, not published
