aThe species Cepedea lanceolatum was listed by Delvinquier and Patterson (1993)* citing Evans et al. (1977) * but without specifying the author and publication year.We have been unable to obtain a copy of the paper by Evans et al. (1977) in order to search for a description or the reference to the original source.Therefore* we have not included this species in the list.If it were to be included* the correct species name would be Opalina lanceolata.
bEarl (1973) proposed the suppression of 88 species/subspecies of Opalinida because he deemed them inadequately described:certain characteristics were absent from the original descriptions (such as the length of the falx)* and the descriptions were based on type specimens rather than on populations.
