Epigeichthys Hubbs [C. L.] 1927:385 Masc. Xiphister rupestris Jordan & Gilbert 1880. Type by original designation. Type by original designation of Xiphister rupestris which Hubbs placed in the synonymy of Ophidium atropurpureum Kittlitz 1858. •Synonym of Xiphister Jordan 1880 -- (Mecklenburg & Sheiko 2004:22 [ref. 27604]). Current status: Synonym of Xiphister Jordan 1880. Stichaeidae: Xiphisterinae.

Phytichthys Hubbs [C. L.] in Jordan 1923:234 Masc. Xiphister chirus Jordan & Gilbert 1880. Type by being a replacement name. Replacement for Xiphistes Jordan & Starks 1895, preoccupied by Xiphistes Stål 1866 in Hemiptera (treehoppers) •Valid as Phytichthys Hubbs 1923 -- (Robins et al. 1980:52 [ref. 7111], Yatsu 1986 [ref. 5150], Mecklenburg et al. 2002:745 [ref. 25968], Mecklenburg & Sheiko 2004:21 [ref. 27604]).

Xiphidion Girard [C. F.] 1858:119 Neut. Xiphidion mucosum Girard 1858. Type by monotypy. Apparently not preoccupied by Xiphidium Serville 1831 in Orthoptera; the same as Xiphister in current literature [if Fowler MS is correct]. Possibly published in 1859. Even if Xiphidion is preoccupied in Orthoptera, the name Xiphidion has not been used as a valid genus since 1899. •Synonym of Xiphister Jordan 1880 -- (Mecklenburg & Sheiko 2004:22 [ref. 27604]). Current status: Synonym of Xiphister Jordan 1880. Stichaeidae: Xiphisterinae.

Xiphister Jordan [D. S.] 1880:241 Masc. Xiphidion mucosum Girard 1858. Type by being a replacement name. Replacement for Xiphidion Girard 1858, preoccupied by Xiphidion Dixon 1850 in fossil Crustacea. •Valid as Xiphister Jordan 1880 -- (Yatsu 1986 [ref. 5150], Mecklenburg et al. 2002:745 [ref. 25968], Mecklenburg & Sheiko 2004:22 [ref. 27604], Clardy & Hilton 2016:211 [ref. 35298]).

Objectively invalid; preoccupied by Xiphistes Stål 1866 in Hemiptera (treehoppers; now treated as a junior synonym of Oxyrhachis Germar 1833), replaced by Phytichthys Hubbs 1923. Type species designated on p. 846. •In the synonymy of Phytichthys Hubbs 1923 -- (Mecklenburg & Sheiko 2004:21 [ref. 27604]). 1°Homonym. Current status: Synonym of Phytichthys Hubbs 1923.
