Taxonomic remark Mrázek (1893: 97) fixed Phyllognathopus paludosus Mrázek, 1893 as the type by monotypy of Phyllognathopus Mrázek, 1893 but Hartwig (1896: 320) claimed that this species was identical with Belisarius viguieri Maupas, 1892 (type by monotypy of Belisarius Maupas, 1892). Wilson (1924: 14) pointed out that Phyllognathopus Mrázek, 1893 takes priority over the preoccupied Belisarius [a junior homonym of Belisarius Simon, 1879 (Arachnida)]. The generic name Viguierella Maupas, 1892 is an unavailable name, being an unjustified manuscript correction in a reprint which was mistakenly adopted by Perrier (1893: 995) [see also (Gurney 1932: 6)]. Being based on a nomen nudum, the family-group name Viguierellidae proposed by Gurney (1928: 331) is likewise unavailable.
When Maupas (1892) found out that Belisarius was preoccupied he also changed the species name (as an unjustified manuscript correction in the reprint) from Belisarius vigueiri to Viguierella coeca so the latter combination is effectively an unavailable name. Several authors have continued using Phyllognathopus coecus (Maupas, 1892) as a valid name whereas in reality the species it denotes is Phyllognathopus viguieri (Maupas, 1982).
