Taxonomy

In 1881, Edward Drinker Cope named the species Mioclaenus sectorius for jaws with teeth from the Puerco Formation of New Mexico. [2] He reassigned it to the new genus Anisonchus later the same year. [3] That name was preoccupied by the beetle Anisonchus , which was erected by Pierre F.M.A. Dejean in 1833. [4] [lower-alpha 1] In 1928, Embrik Strand proposed Anisonchanus as a replacement. [1]
