† Pherodactylus Poinar, Su & Brown, 2020 View in CoL
= † Tresdigitus Xu, Fang & Wang, 2020 n. syn.
= † Chunxiania Xu, Wang & Fang, 2022 n. syn.
Diagnosis. Head round, pronotum elongate, longer than the wide, middle of pronotal disk with two distinct large dark “eyespots”, foreleg robust, with three apical spurs arranged on the inner side of fore tibia.
Included species. † Pherodactylus micromorphus Poinar, Su & Brown, 2020 (type species by monotypy and original designation) and † Pherodactylus rectanguli (Xu, Fang & Wang, 2020) n. comb.
Remarks. We treated genera † Tresdigitus n. syn. and Chunxiania n. syn. as synonyms of genus Pherodactylus Poinar, Su & Brown, 2020 . We propose the genera and their species as synonyms or relocated: genera † Tresdigitus n. syn. and Chunxiania n. syn. as synonyms of genus Pherodactylus Poinar, Su & Brown, 2020 , and † Tresdigitus gracilis Jiang, Xu, Jarzembowski & Xiao, 2022 n. syn. and † Chunxiania fania n. syn. as synonyms of † Pherodactylus rectanguli n. comb. The type specimen of each species represents different stages of the same species ( Table 2 View TABLE 2 ), and they are all from the same locality. Besides, their morphological characters coincide with the diagnostic characters of † Pherodactylus . For additional taxonomic justifications, see † P. rectanguli n. comb. remarks.
