Gen. Scoloderus Simon, 1887 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01557

type Hypophthalma cordata Taczanowski, 1879; gender masculine

N.B: even though Simon, 1887d: 187 was wrong in stating a preoccupation of Hypophthalma, he used a different type species, which originally was not included in Hypophthalma (see Hypognatha).

Transferred to other genera:

Scoloderus soaresi Mello-Leitão, 1945 -- see Testudinaria
