Irenimus stolidus Broun, 1886:854

Catoptes brevicornis Sharp, 1886:422 new synonym

Catoptes brevicornis Sharp, 1886 , non ( Broun, 1904); Macfarlane et al., 2011:434

Catoptes vexator Broun, 1904:108 new synonym

Irenimus vexator (Broun) ; Barratt et al., 1998:58

The type specimen of I. stolidus is a male which has been slightly abraded, while the type specimens of C. brevicornis and C. vexator are both females and agree well with each other.

Priority for the name C. stolidus is established, as Broun (1886) was published in April 1886, while Sharp (1886) was published in Nov 1886 ( Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999).
