Discussion
Remark. In many publications (e.g., Qiu & Bouché 1998, Csuzdi & Zicsi 2003, Csuzdi 2012) E. andrei Bouché, 1972 is cited as a synonym, morph, “variety”, or subspecies of E. fetida, or it is given separate species status, but according to Blakemore (2006) this is almost arbitrary between authors. These two entities have biochemical differences (Øien & Stenersen 1984, Engelstad & Stenersen 1991, Reinecke & Vijoen 1991) and their reproductive isolation was confirmed (Dominguez et al.2005).
