Inophloeus
Pascoe, 1875
is a composite genus, as currently defined. However it is outside the scope of this paper to fully resolve the difficulties posed by the group. This species is congeneric with
Inophloeus villaris
Pascoe, 1875
and so it is placed within
Inophloeus
until such a time as the whole group is fully revised. This species is found in the
Canterbury
mountains, especially around Mt Hutt.
According to Article 59.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999), removal of this taxon from
Catoptes
prevents it from requiring a replacement name, despite the secondary homonymy caused by the placement of
Tigones robustus
Sharp, 1886
, into
Catoptes

Kuschel (1969)
