= Trogodermum —
Unjustified emendation of Trogoderma Dejean, 1821 (Gistel Latinized the neuter Greek ending '-derma' to '-dermum'). Under ICZN Article 33.2.3 and 67.8, it is an available name that automatically shares the type species of Trogoderma, acting as a junior objective synonym.

"All the species trested [sic] in the paper were assigned to the genus Eurhopalus Solier in Gay, 1849 [by Ślipiński et al. (2023) and 2022 revisionary articles]. The author clearly disagrees with the reassignment of these species to this genus based on the article of Motyka et al. (2022), therefore reassigns all species back to the genus Trogoderma and the genus Eurhopalus is a synonym for genus Trogoderma."
