Note.

Kifune and Maeta (1965) proposed a new replacement name for Macroxenos piercei Schultze, 1925, a secondary homonym of Ophthalmochlus piercei Brèthes, 1923 (now Eupathocera piercei ( Brèthes, 1923), comb. nov.) when both were placed in the same genus Pseudoxenos . Macroxenos piercei is reinstated here as a valid name following the Article 59.4 of ICZN (1999).
