Genus
Cyrtodesmus
Gervais, 1847
Loomis (1964)
synonymized a number of generic names with
Cyrtodesmus
.
Of these,
Hoffman (1999)
considered the synonymies of
Trigonostylus
Broelemann, 1898
,
Peltido
Chamberlin, 1940
, and
Oncodesmoides
Kraus, 1954
to be valid. He rejected the synonymies of
Cyliocyrtus
Cook, 1898
and
Oncodesmus
Cook, 1896
as invalid because they were “…not based on adequate knowledge of the two respective type species and they are reinstated (even if as
nomina dubia
) until more substantial information about their characters is forthcoming (
Hoffman 1999, p.501
).”
