 PAEDEROMIMUS Sharp, 1885, p. 438. 



Genotype : Paederomimus difformiceps Sharp. 

 Fixed by : Sharp, 1885, p. 439, by original designation. 

 Later citations : P. difformiceps Sharp, by Blackwelder, 1943, p. 395. 

 Discussion : Sharp divided the genus originally into three groups of species, 

 stating that the third would be the true Paederomimus if the genus was 

 divided and that difformiceps is the type of that group. In 1920 Lucas 

 indicated P. gentilis Sharp as possibly the genotype.
