In their monograph of the dileptids, Vďačný and Foissner (2012) could not clarify the type species of the genus DileptusDujardin, 1841. Thus, they suggested that the problem be referred to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. However, recently we discovered that Dujardin (1841) has originally typified Dileptus with Amphileptus anser sensu Ehrenberg (1838) which is in fact a misidentified Amphileptus margaritiferEhrenberg, 1833, a common species also originally classified in Dileptus. Under Article 70.3.2 of the Code, Dileptus margaritifer (Ehrenberg, 1833) Dujardin, 1841, thoroughly redescribed by Foissner et al. (1995), is now the type of Dileptus. This has the great advantages of historical continuity and that new combinations (names) are not required.
在他们的双翅目分类学专论中，Vďačný 和 Foissner（2012 年）未能澄清双翅目的模式种。因此，他们建议将该问题提交给国际动物命名委员会。然而，最近我们发现，Dujardin（1841 年）最初将 Amphileptus anser （Ehrenberg，1838）指定为双翅目的模式种，而实际上这是一种被错误识别的 Amphileptus margaritifer Ehrenberg，1833 种，这也是一个常见的物种，最初也被归类在双翅目中。根据《动物命名法规》第 70.3.2 条，由 Foissner 等人（1995 年）彻底重新描述的 Amphileptus margaritifer（Ehrenberg，1833）Dujardin，1841 现在是双翅目的模式种。这具有历史连续性的巨大优势，并且不需要新的组合（名称）。
