Notes: We review evidence from publications of Schrader and Froggatt that, we argue, indicates that Froggatt (1893) described specimens of Brachyscelis ovicola as his new species B. minor. We also argue that Froggatt’s (1893) concept of B. ovicola differs from Schrader’s (1863a) original concept of B. ovicola, and needs to be recognised as a separate species.
