Synonymized by HOWDEN (1972: 653).
Types. Pantodinus klugi. HOWDEN (1972) stated that the Pantodinus klugi type location is unknown to him. Burmeister described the species based on specimen(s) from the Melly collection,which is housed in MNHG.The MNHG houses one male specimen labelled “Coll. Melly. sans patrie” and “592/3 coll. Melly”. If this this specimen is a syntype remains unclear. Jeannelosis auriculatus: One male holotype in MNHN (BOURGIN 1945). Locality records from literature.

Remarks. CANDEZE (1873), while transferring Pantodinus klugii Burmeister, 1847 from “Dynastides” to “Trichides”, misspelled the species epithet as “ klugi ” lacking one “ i ”. This is an incorrect subsequent spelling, which has since been used by some authors (CANDEZE 1873; BATES 1889; KOLBE 1909; SCHENKLING 1922; BLACKWELDER 1944; HOWDEN 1968, 1972, 2010; MORÓN & KRIKKEN 1990; MORÓN et al. 1997; MORÓN & VAZ- DE- MELLO 2017). At the same time P. klugii was used only once by WESTWOOD (1878). We follow Art. 33.3.1 (ICZN 1999), which states that “when an incorrect subsequent spelling is in prevailing usage and it is attributed to the publication of the original spelling, the subsequent spelling and attribution are to be preserved and the spelling is deemed to be a correct original spelling”. Since Pantodinus klugi Burmeister, 1847 is in prevailing usage it is deemed to be a correct original spelling. KRAJCIK (1999, 2012) omitted Jeannelosis auriculatus.
