Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark Otys is an accepted genus with the type O. armatus (Matthews and Bouchard 2008: 333), unfortunately, Lucas (1920) previously designated O. harpalinus (currently placed in Scaletomerus) as type, and a submission to the ICZN has yet to be made to correct this issue. [details]
