Boucek, 1965 (Mus. Nat. Pragae, Acta Ent. 36: 7) states that Microterus Spinola, 1811, is very 

 likely the same as Pediobius Walker, 1846, and should, thus, have priority. He decided, however, 

 to continue to use Pediobius as the name of this genus because of usage and because Microterus 

 is a long forgotten name. In my opinion the case for recognizing Microterus is very weak, at 

 least on the basis of the presently available information. If a case to present to the Commission 

 were drawn up, the only name for this genus that could be retained on the basis of usage is 

 Pleurotropis Foerster, 1856. That is the name that was used for it for over a century.
