Nomenclature Shear et al. (2020) state on p5 "...WAS has, somewhat arbitrarily, assigned the two genera to the synonymy of Brunsonia (Shear 2018)." The genera being referred to are Endopus (which they mistakenly refers to as Ogkomus) and Orthogmus. This follows Shear 1976's conclusions (p21). Also note that Shear 2018 does not exist; they likely meant to cite Shear 1976. Based on this evidence, I've placed Orthogmus as a junior synonym of Brunsonia. [details]
