Remarks

Cascomastigus does not differ in any characters from † Clidicostigus ; their diagnostic features, including uniquely shaped maxillary palps with an asymmetrical palpomere 4, and elytral striae, are identical. Neither structural nor spatiotemporal arguments support a separate placement of these taxa, and † Cascomastigus is here placed as a junior synonym of † Clidicostigus (the former name with the online publication date 2017.03.07; the latter 2017.01.03).
