Mycteroptila Rasnitsyn, 1977 .

—Rasnitsyn and Aristov (2004: 160) suggested that Mycteroptila Rasnitsyn, 1977 (type species M. dina Rasnitsyn, 1977 ) may be a synonym of Spargoptilon , after a new examination of the type species, but without more precise argument. The same authors also suggest that the second species M. armipotens Novokshonov, 1998 could be “more similar to representatives of Strephoneura ” and “may represent another species of the same genus”. A comparison of the original figures of Novokshonov (1998) with Martynov (1940) does not show many structures that could be really compared in these fossils. The problem remains open.
