Remarks

Originally the ZMH housed a male and female specimen of Arixenia jacobsoni . The female specimen was taken from the collection to be displayed in the exhibition. During the bombing of the city in 1943 this particular specimen was lost in the fire (Wagner 1964). However the original labels survived as they were never removed from the glass that once held all type specimens of this species. Therefore, we included the transcription of those labels as well.
