From editor or global species database
Type species Ophiodromus vittatus Sars, 1862 is the type species of Ophiodromus by monotypy. However, the Hartman catalogue (1959:189) and the Fauchald guide to genera (pink book, 1977: 76) incorrectly list Nereis flexuosa Delle Chiaje, 1827, accepted as Oxydromus flexuosus (Delle Chiaje, 1827), as type species of Oxydromus. This was because Oxydromus flexuosus is possibly a senior synonym of the type species O. vittatus (fide von Marenzeller 1874, McIntosh 1908, Pleijel 1998, Fauchald 2011). It was Hartman's practice in her catalogue to list the then senior synonym of the actual type species as type species. However, this is incorrect as type species never change because of a subjective synonymy. [details]

Publication date Both Sherborn (Nom. Zool.) and Hartman catalogue point to Sars, 1861 (in Nyt Mag. Naturv., 11 (3), 254.) as source. This unchecked. However, verified that Sars, 1862 presents it as newly described. [details]Synonymy Pleijel (1993: 161) pointed out that genus names Oxydromus and Ophiodromus are subjective synonyms, with Oxydromus senior, but at the time the name Oxydromus was incorrectly thought to be preoccupied in the class Aves by Oxydromus Schlegel, 1854 (actually always just an invalid misspelling of Ocydromus), and thus Ophiodromus must be used. As Ophiodromus was thought to be the valid name at the time, Pleijel (1998: 126) newly named the subfamily Ophiodrominae, having type genus Ophiodromus. However, Viéitez et al. (2004) pointed out that Oxydromus is an available genus name and must be considered as the valid name. This does not affect Ophiodrominae as the subfamily name, contrary to the opinion of Costa & Christoffersen (2017) [details]
