• Ptilocnemus Westwood, J.O. 1840. Memoire on the genus Holoptilus. Transactions of the Entomological Society of London 2: 248-253 [252] [originally introduced as a subgenus of Holoptilus Lepeletier & Serville, 1825; Kerzhner, I.M. 1993. Nomenclatural and bibliographic corrections to J. Maldonado Capriles (1990) "Systematic catalogue of the Reduviidae of the World (Insecta: Heteroptera)". Zoosyst. Rossica 1: 46–60 [50] indicates that Ptilocerus Gray, 1831 and Ptilocnemus may be objective synonyms, and that a ruling is required from the ICZN to fix H. lemur as the type species of Ptilocnemus and to conserve Ptilocnemus].

  Type species:

   Holoptilus (Ptilocnemus) lemur Westwood, 1840 by monotypy.
