Syntormon guizhouensisWang & Yang, 2006 [10] is an unavailable name, as it does not satisfy ICZN Articles 16.1 and 16.4: the original publication does not explicitly indicate the name to be intentionally new, and the fixation of name-bearing types for the species is not explicit. [14]

Notes

  1. ↑ Masculine name endings are used in this list following Grichanov (2013), who argued that Syntormon has masculine gender because Loew originally treated it as masculine. [2] Alternatively, the genus has been argued to have neuter gender, based on the name ending in "-on". [3] This would mean the species names would instead have neuter endings, e.g. "tarsatum" instead of "tarsatus". This does not apply to species names using nouns in apposition, such as aotearoa and macula, which retain the original spelling regardless of gender. A case on the subject of the gender of Syntormon has been submitted to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. [4]
  2. ↑ This species is sometimes treated as a synonym of Syntormon pallipes .
