Notes

The species studied by Canestrini is not the species described by Koch according to Thor (1933: 21) (see Tydeus polymitus).
This opinion (Koch's polymitus is not Canestrini 's polymitus) is shared by Fain (1964: 106)
Fain (1964: 106) synonymyzes Canestrini 's polymitus with Ereynetes (Anereynetes) galeatus.
