• Junior synonym of Cataulacus horridus: Wheeler, 1919f: 93; Bolton, 1974a: 84 (redescription); Bolton, 1995b: 138.
• [Note: Bolton, 1974a: 84, gave Cataulacus insularis as senior synonym, but Cataulacus horridus has priority on first reviser principle, based on the attribution by Wheeler, 1919f: 93 (Bolton, 1995b: 138).]
