Genus
Pachnodella
Stichel, 1922
This is a controversial genus. The genus
Marmylida
Thomsom, 1880
genus was synonymized with it by
Rigout (1989)
. However, it was recognized later as valid by
Holm & Marais (1992)
. Despite this, Krajcik’s catalogue (2008a) considers
Pachnodella
as a synonym of
Marmylida
. However,
Antoine (2004a)
and
Beinhundner (2017a)
recognize both genera valid. Here we follow
Antoine (2004a)
and
Beinhundner (2017a)
which include three species within each genus. Two species of
Pachnodella
are represented in
Angola
(
Paulino de Oliveira 1882
).
