Typespecies Dinychus Kramer, 1886: 255. Notes.Most authors have attributed the name Dinychidaeto Vitzthum, 1931. However, Berlese (1916b)refers to the placement of his new genus Metadinychusas "Ex Uropodidis, Dinychinis". Berlese's meaning here is ambiguous, but this could be interpreted to mean Family Uropodidae, Subfamily Dinychinae or Tribe Dinychini. Where Berlese describes other new genera in the same paper, the genus name is sometimes followed by the name of its family, for example " ColeoscirusBerl.n. gen., Ex. fam. Bdellidae", but his typographical style is not consistent. Farrier & Hennessey (1993)interpreted the word "Dinychinis" as a family-group name, and I have followed that usage.
