| Status | Invalid | ||
| Comments | Brown stated that Castracane’s species belongs in Anisodiscus but he did not associate the final epithet with the name of the genus. The combination Anisodictus janus is listed, but not validated in Mills 1933, p. 194 (ref. 000998), and VanLandingham 1967, p. 283 (ref. 006293) | ||
