Rhyphodesmus terminalis Cook, 1896a: 52 (original description; synonymized by Jeekel 1963: 93); Moritz & Fischer 1978: 130 (type information).

Platyrrhacus Druryi: Attems 1899: 332, pl. 14 fig. 336 (combination).

Rhyphodesmus amphelictus Chamberlin, 1923: 44, pl. 18 fig. 117–118 (original description; synonymized by Jeekel 1963: 93)

Rhyphodesmus drurii: Jeekel 1963: 93 (taxonomic comments; redescription; distribution records); Shelley & Martínez-Torres 2013 (new distribution record).

Types: P. drurii , ♂ holotype from Guyana: Demerara. Deposited at the BNHM (Jeekel 1963).

R. terminalis, ♂ holotype from Guyana, without further locality; Schomburgk leg. Deposited at the ZMB, cat. no. 2098, in the alcohol collection (Moritz & Fischer 1978; J. A. Dunlop, pers. comm.).

R. amphelictus, ♂ holotype from Guyana: Labba Creek Sand Hills, F. M. Gaige leg., 27-VII-1914. Deposited at the MCZ, cat. no. DIPL-5127 (https://mczbase.mcz.harvard.edu/guid/MCZ:IZ:DIPL-5127 last viewed 4-IV- 2018).

R. kartabo, ♀ holotype from Guyana: Kartabo. Originally deposited at the AMNH (Chamberlin 1950), we could not confirm its current state.

Distribution: Guyana.

Comments: Jeekel (1963, 2007) suggested close affinities with Asian Platyrhacidae and a possible introduction from Burma or the Malayan Peninsula, a hypothesis rejected by Shelley & Martínez-Torres (2013).
