COMMENTS: Cory and Hellmayr (1925: 188) proposed the generic name Xenoctistes as a nom. nov. for Syndactyla Reichenbach , which was preoccupied by Syndactylus Boitard, 1842 , Mammalia. Zimmer (1935a: 2) stated: “I am forced to revert to the name Syndactyla for this genus through the provision of the ‘International Code of Zoological Nomenclature’ which considers this name as not preoccupied by Syndactylus . ”

Vaurie (1971a: 13) included Xenoctistes in Philydor .
