Eponymous taxa

The current version lists these species as named in Susan's honour:

Calydiscoides limae Justine & Brena, 2009 [11]
Cornudiscoides susanae Agrawal & Vishwakarma, 1996
Dactylogyrus limae Timofeeva, Gerasev & Gibson, 1996
Dactylogyrus limleehongae Gusev, 1985
Haliotrema susanae Soo, 2019 [12]

1, Justine & Brena, 2009 reads: "the species is dedicated to Prof. L.H.S. Lim from Universiti Malaya, Malaysia, in recognition of her work on monogeneans in general and on Calydiscoides in particular." 5, Soo, 2019 reads: "This new species is named in honor of the late Dr. Susan Lim Lee Hong who pioneered taxonomic studies of monogeneans from Malaysian waters." These two are both fine. The remaining are lacking sources.

2, Agrawal & Vishwakarma, 1996 seems to be this paper: Agrawal, N. and Vishwakarma, P., 1996. Six new species and redescription of two known species of the genus Cornudiscoides Kulkarni, 1969 (Monogenea) from Lucknow U.P. Indian J. Helminth., 13: 10-31, cited here, which I could not locate online, so I could not check the etymology. WoRMS gives no original description paper.

3, Timofeeva, Gerasev & Gibson, 1996. WoRMS claims it to be Gibson, D. I.; Timofeeva, T. A.; Gerasev, P. I. (1996). A catalogue of the nominal species of the monogenean genus Dactylogyrus Diesing, 1850 and their host genera. Systematic Parasitology. 35(1): 3-48. available online at https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00012180. That, however, gives no etymology for the species name.

4, Gusev, 1985 I could not locate online. WoRMS gives no original description paper.

I believe the sources should be added to the article so that the information can be kept.

In addition, I located a paper (Rastogi et al., 2012) which describes a new species, Cornudescoides susani, in her honour. However, Agrawal et al., 2016 claim it is a synonym to another species, and WoRMS does not recognize this species Rastogi described. Should it be added to the article, anyway?

To sum it up: three species in the article have no sources. And there is another one that might be added, or not.
