Wenkchemnia Rasetti, 1951 [is a junior synonym of Bathyuriscus, fide ROBISON, 1976]. Note: Wenkchemnia is apparently a junior synonym of Bathyuriscus, fide ROBISON, 1976 according to Jell and Adrain, 2003. Fred Sundberg and others strongly believe that Wenkchemnia Rasetti, 1951 is a valid genus and that Dick Robison shouldn't have placed it in synonomy with Bathyuriscus Meek, 1873.  Both Sundberg & Robison stick to their positions, so the issue is unresolved. For our list, we will go with the genus that the author of the species uses. All species of Wenkchemnia should perhaps be called Wenkchemnia (?=Bathyuriscus) spp. for now.

*Note: not all of the species are valid and errors in synonomy will be present. We do our best to keep up to date, but it is difficult to locate all changes. Also, not all of the authors' names are included, and may not be correct with respect to (brackets) for generic name changes. Please excuse any mistakes, as this species list is a meant as a first guide only.
