Synonymised names

Klattia Kepner, Stirewalt & Ferguson, 1939 · unaccepted

Macrorhynchus (Opisthocystis) Sekera, 1911 · unaccepted

Polycystis (Opisthocystis) · unaccepted (Karling (1963) mentions...)

Karling (1963) mentions Opisthocystis as a subgenus of Polycystis, followed by Artois (2001). However, Sekera (1911) never described it as a subgenus, so the mentioning by Karling (1963) and Artois (2001) as a subgenus is erroneous.
