"The type species of this genus is Epactophannes richardi Mrázek, 1893. Numerous varieties and subspecies of this unique representative of the genus have been described. Lang (1948), Dussart (1967); Damian-Georgescu (1970) and Tai & Song (1979) considered them as synonyms of the nominal species which appears to have an important morphological variability. Borutzky (1952) did not agree with this opinion" (Defaye & Dussart, 2011: 115).
