To establish the list of new combinations in
Each new combination is accompanied by the reference of the original description, synonymies, type locality of the species and remarks, when necessary. Type locality is based on the original description, except where indicated. Geolocations of type localities are derived from the original descriptions, being considered an “original geolocation” when the authors provided the coordinates, or “estimated geolocation”, when estimated using Google Earth (
The whereabouts of type material of the new combinations were summarised by

Following his principle of basing observations and descriptions only on live organisms Édouard Claparède did not designate type material or deposit specimens in museums or collections (
The name of the new genus is composed by combining the Greek terms for

According to
The authors would like to express their deep gratitude to the generous help of Miguel Ángel Alonso Zarazaga (MNCN, Madrid, Spain), who replied to our questions concerning some nomenclatural details and corrected the endings of the specific epithets of the new combinations, so they agreed in gender with the new generic name, and Andrew S. Y. Mackie (National Museum Wales, Cardiff, UK) for having found the time to make a critical reading of the first draft of the manuscript and correct its English while on vacations. Geoff Read and María Ana Tovar-Hernández are thanked for their very detailed revisions of the first version, which have improved the manuscript considerably, and Chris Glasby for his help as Editor.
