This nomen was established by Fitzinger (1826) as a new replacement name (alloneonym: Dubois 2012) for Ascalabotes sthenodactylus Lichtenstein, 1823 . It thus has the same name bearing types and type locality (see Art. 67.8 of the Code).

Name-bearing type and type locality: as Ascalabotes sthenodactylus Lichtenstein, 1823 . Proposed status: objective junior synonym of Stenodactylus sthenodactylus ( Lichtenstein, 1823) .
