Remarks.

Species referred to as Myzophorus woodlandi by Rego (1984) and Nomimoscolex woodlandi by Rego and Pavanelli (1992). de Chambrier and Vaucher (1997) proposed a new name, Proteocephalus hemioliopteri , for N. woodlandi to avoid homonymy with P. woodlandi Moghe, 1926. Rego (1984) did not designate holotype and paratypes or labeled the slides as type material. Among the syntypes referred to as "32088 a–g” in the original description, the specimens “c” and “f” were analyzed, separated and reallocated by de Chambrier in CHIOC, because they belong to another genus.
