Pterodontia Misella
''Pterodontia misella'' is a species of small-headed flies (insects in the family Acroceridae). It is very close in appearance to '' Pterodontia flavipes'', and was considered a synonym of it by Curtis Williams Sabrosky Curtis Williams Sabrosky (3 April 1910, Sturgis, Michigan – 5 October 1997) was an American entomologist. He specialized in Diptera, especially Chloropidae. Sabrosky worked at the Systematic Entomology Laboratory of United States Departme ... in 1948. However, this synonymy has not been adopted by later authors, and ''P. misella'' is still recognised as a distinct species.

Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson
Dr Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson (26 November 1809 in Stralsund – 18 December 1848 in Berlin) was a trained medical doctor and a German entomologist. He was the author of many articles about insects mainly in ''Archiv für Naturgeschichte''. When writing in Latin, he latinised ''Wilhelm'' to ''Guillelmus'' becoming either ''Guil. F. Erichson'' or ''G.F. Erichson.'' He wrote a paper in 1842 on insect species collected at Woolnorth in Tasmania, Australia, which was the first detailed research published on the biogeography of Australian animals and was very influential in raising scientific interest in Australian fauna. Erichson was the curator of the Coleoptera collections at the ''Museum fur Naturkunde'' in Berlin from 1834 to 1848. Erichson's Scarabaeidae classification is nearly identical to the modern one.
