Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- P. tristriga was first described by Herrich-Schäffer, 1868, Corresp.-Bl. zool.-min. Ver. Regensburg 22: 181 but was without a generic name and so not nomenclaturally available. Gundlach, 1881, Contribucion Ent. Cubana 1: 329, repeated the description but still did not place tristriga in a genus. Pseudocalpe was proposed primarily for tristriga but two other species were also mentioned. P. tristriga was placed in Sudariophora Zeller, 1872, by Schaus, 1940, Scient. surv. P. Rico 12: 260; thus Pseudocalpe is a junior subjective synonym. Poole (1989) included PSEUDOCALPE in the subfamily OPHIDERINAE, treated as CALPINAE by Kitching & Rawlins, in Kristensen (1999).
