Eosentomon minimum Ewing 



Eosentomon minimum Ewing, 1921b, p. 195. 



In 1940 Ewing abandoned E. minimum and stated that it is a 

 synonym of E. 'pallidum Ewing (1940, p. 525). He made a mistake; 

 an examination of his holotype in the U.S. National Museum has 

 shown that it is a specimen of E. vermiforme Ewing. Therefore, 

 E. minimum Ewing is a synonym of E. vermiforme Ewing.
