Müller, 2022 comb. rest.; Sanaungulus kachinensis Fanti & P. Müller, 2022 comb. rest.; Trapezioceps longelytrus Kundrata, Packova, Li, Hsiao, Shaw, Ferreira, Bai & Cai, 2023 unjustified emendation; Sanaungulus angustipennis (Y. Yang, W. Zhao & H. Liu, 2024b) comb. nov.; Burmomiles angustipennis Y. Yang, W. Zhao & H. Liu, 2024a unavailable name; Sanaungulus dentatus (Y. Yang, W. Zhao & H. Liu, 2024b) comb. nov.; Burmomiles dentatus Y. Yang, W.
