Spelling The incorrect spelling Niobia dendrotentaculata was used in Vanhöffen (1913) and has been used by my subsequent authors, notably the influential works of Kramp (1959, 1968, but not 1961).
The spelling of Mayer (1900, 1910) was Niobia dendrotentacula, a spelling also used in by some later authors. [details]
