Dermaleichus glandarinus Koch, 1841, by subsequent designation (Trouessart 1885: 77).

About 180 Proctophyllodes species have been described to date, mostly from passeriform hosts (Atyeo and Braasch 1966; Mironov 2012; Mironov and OConnor 2014; Wang et al. 2014; Hernandes et al. 2017; Klimov et al. 2017; Mironov 2017; Mironov et al. 2017; Yamasaki et al. 2018; Mironov 2019; Hernandes and Flechtmann 2020; Pedroso and Hernandes 2021; Zhang et al. 2021). In Brazil, excluding two cases of misidentification or accidental contamination (detailed in Pedroso and Hernandes 2021), about 10 Proctophyllodes species have so far been reported (Trouessart 1899; Atyeo and Braasch 1966; Kanegae et al. 2008; Valim et al. 2011; Amaral et al. 2012; Enout et al. 2012; Daud et al. 2015; Hernandes and Flechtmann 2020; Hernandes 2021; Pedroso and Hernandes 2021).
