Nomenclature

Species that were named in combination with ''Triphoris'', ''Triforis'', or ''Trifora'', which are variant spellings of ''Triphora'', and have not been placed elsewhere in the literature are listed here under ''Triphora''. In such cases, where the original genus is a misspelling or emendation of the current genus, the authors and dates have not been placed in parentheses (ICZN Article 51.3.1). For ''Triforis'' of authors, see ''Trituba'' and related genera in ''Newtoniellidae''.
