Synonyms and other taxonomic changes
Hemitaxonus Ashmeadm 1898
Fairly recently, a misinterpretation of the type species of Thrinax was discovered, resulting in this name becoming a senior synonym of Hemitaxonus rather than a junior synonym of Strongylogaster. ECatSym therefore places all Hemitaxonus species in Thrinax.
