Taxonomy type genus of Heteroiulinae Verhoeff, 1930; synonym of Brachyiulini (Hoffman overlooked this taxon and did not discuss this). Some of the already few millipede systematists/taxonomists loved to describe new families and tribes, sometimes just to annoy the other workers, e.g., Verhoeff introduced names just to annoy Attems.
