Aperioptus pictorius was described by Richardson in 1848 with limited textual information but with an illustration sufficient to confirm the species as one currently recognized as Acanthopsoides molobrion making Aperioptus a senior synonym of Acanthopsoides Fowler 1934 and A. pictorius a senior synonym of Acanthopsoides molobrion Siebert 1991. Species to be recognized in Aperioptus in addition to A. molobrion are A. gracilis (Fowler 1934), A. gracilentus (Smith 1945), A. delphax (Siebert 1991), A. hapalias (Siebert 1991), and A. robertsi (Siebert 1991). Aperioptus also is a senior synonym of Neacanthopsis Smith 1945, type species Neacanthopsis gracilentus.

- This text reviews and updates the classification of the muscid fly genera Phaonia and Muscina found in Macaronesia, including the Azores, Canary Islands, and Madeira.
- The authors propose that the species Phaonia tuguriorum is a senior synonym of P. scutellata and that the name P. signata should be reinstated for P. tuguriorum in certain contexts.
- The paper identifies three species each of Phaonia and Muscina in the region and highlights four endemic subspecies unique to the Canary Islands, along with identification keys for both male and female flies.

Presently, it is considered to contain about 2,650 valid species, divided into nearly 102 genera of three subfamilies: Amblyseiinae, Phytoseiinae and Typhlodrominae. Approximately 250 of those have been reported from Brazil.

Gigantoporidae Bassler, 1935 is a cheilostome bryozoan family comprising five genera, including the colorful genus Cosciniopsis Canu & Bassler, 1927, considered a senior synonym of Aptonella Canu & Bassler, 1928. The taxonomy of Aptonella has historically been considered confusing due to the colored zooecia, which suggests an affinity with other genera such as the stomachetosellid Cycloperiella Canu & Bassler, 1923. Here, the type species of Aptonella, A.

Article Synopsis
- * The specimen resembles Bronchocela jubata from 1837, suggesting that Agama gutturosa should be considered a synonym of it.
- * We propose that Agama gutturosa be classified as a nomen oblitum to stabilize the naming conventions, allowing Bronchocela cristatella and Bronchocela jubata to remain in use.
