The genotype of Symphobus is Tryphon pleuralis Cresson, and that of Oetophorus is Mesoleius stretchii Cresson. I have studied the types of each of these species and find them congeneric. Symphobus was described originally without included species and pleuralis is the first species to be referred to it. Pleuralis has pectinate claws and in that respect does not fit the original description of Symphobus.
