Schizopneustes Thiery, 1907, p. 64

Name gender	feminine
Classification and/or Status	pro Dipneustes Arnaud, in Cotteau 1891, p. 623 (152) (non Hoernes, 1866). According to Mortensen (1951, p. 232) and McNamara & Philip (1980, p. 58) the name Dipneustes Hoernes, 1866 does not exist and so Thiery (1907) was in error when he introduced the replacement name.
