Etymology [The species was named after its original finding at the city of Worthing, United Kingdom. The name was Latinized to Worthingius with the genitive case Worthingii. The name E. worthingii has been used consistently ever since, so this original writing with -ii has to be preserved (ICZN, Article 33.4. Use of -i for -ii and vice versa, and other alternative spellings, in subsequent spellings of species-group names.).] [details]

Taxonomic remark The species was originally published with a capital letter, which does not agree with the ICZN (Article 28.). Correction of the spelling to a small letter does not require a new author of a species (ICZN, Article 50.4.). Therefore, the same species with the same author would appear twice in WoRMS, one written with a capital letter, the other one with a small letter. It was decided to provide only the name with the small letter and to add this comment in order to explain the situation. [details]

Taxonomy Southern (1914: p. 69): "For the two as yet undescribed species I have considered it advisable to record them under the names which Zelinka has given to them (in MS.), without attempting to forestall his description. The names will remain nomina nuda till the appearance of the long-expected monograph".
This statement is in accordance with ICZN article "8.3. Names and acts may be disclaimed", meaning that the undescribed species had to be regarded as a nomen nudum at that time, although Southern provided several diagnostic characters; Zelinka described the species in 1928 and became the author of the species. This situation was not fully appreciated, i.a. by Higgins (1983, p. 40), Adrianov & Malakhov (1999, pp. 155, 273), and Neuhaus (2013, p. 299). [details]

Etymology [The species was named after its original finding at the city of Worthing, United Kingdom. The name was Latinized to Worthingius with the genitive case Worthingii. The name E. worthingii has been used consistently ever since, so this original writing with -ii has to be preserved (ICZN, Article 33.4. Use of -i for -ii and vice versa, and other alternative spellings, in subsequent spellings of species-group names.).] [details]

Taxonomic remark The species was originally published with a capital letter, which does not agree with the ICZN (Article 28.). Correction of the spelling to a small letter does not require a new author of a species (ICZN, Article 50.4.). Therefore, the same species with the same author would appear twice in WoRMS, one written with a capital letter, the other one with a small letter. It was decided to provide only the name with the small letter and to add this comment in order to explain the situation. [details]
