It is quite possible that the typewritten addendum was mimeographed in 
this case-there are numerous identical copies.  


> Has/have the name(s) been used?

One of the new names is in general use; the other two are regarded as 
subjective synonyms.  They were unambiguously published a few years 
later by Thiele, attributing them to Frierson.  

The addendum also identifies certain listed species as types; in at 
least one case it would be older and different from (though congeneric 
with) the first unambiguously valid type designation.  

I'll try the ICZN list.
