Obsolete classifications
Genus Mycetosoritis references
Kempf, 1972b: 146 (catalogue); Smith, 1979: 1410 (North America catalogue); Bolton, 1994: 105 (synoptic classification); Bolton, 1995a: 1050 (census); Bolton, 1995b: 269 (catalogue); Cantone, 2017: 214 (brief male diagnosis)
Gender
Sosa-Calvo et al., 2017: 8: set gender to masculine: "Because there is thus no indication of gender in the original description of Mycetosoritis, Section 30.1.4.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature applies, requiring the use of the masculine gender for genus-group names with endings of ambiguous gender for which the author did not indicate the gender either explicitly or via a clear adjectival species-group name."
