Genus Pteroherpus Gaud, 1981
A detailed generic revision of the family Pteronyssidae (considered as the subfamily of Avenzoariidae ) was carried out by Faccini and Atyeo (1981). The authors of that revision noted that the genus Pteroherpus included 12 described species and they also recognized three species-groups within the genus: benoiti, holoplax and monacrotrichus. Other species were later described ( Mironov 1992, Mironov & Kopij 2000, Mironov & Wauthy 2006), and a recent revision of Pteroherpus ( Mironov & Wauthy 2008) added three more new species, raising the number to 18, and arranged them in four species-groups: hoplophorus (10 species), diploplax (6 species), josephi (1 species) and nicator (1 species). After this revision two other species of the genus were described: Pteroherpus garrulacis Mironov and Proctor, 2011 belonging to the species-group diploplax and Pteroherpus surmachi Mironov, 2011 which cannot be classified in any of mentioned species groups having a distinct combination of characters both in the female and in the male.
