Review
Some notes to start:

a) Specific name > specific epithet

b) "and generally uncorrected by subsequent authors." is this in one of the refs?
 * Yes. Brongersma (1936) points that out. I added a note to help for future reference. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:23, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

h) "The general consensus is" is this reffed?
