The Ciidae genus Anoplocis was established by Makoto Kawanabe (1996) based on the type species Ennearthron poriae Nakane & Nobuki, 1955 from Japan. Additionally, he described the Japanese species Anoplocis ryukyuensis Kawanabe, 1996. However, the name Anoplocis was previously proposed by Arthur M. Lea (1913) for a genus of true weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), with its type species Anoplocis ferrugineus Lea, 1913 from Australia. In consequence, the genus Anoplocis Kawanabe, 1996 is a junior homonym of the genus Anoplocis Lea, 1913. According to Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, we propose the replacement name Aliocis nom. nov. for Anoplocis Kawanabe, 1996. New combinations are here proposed for the two species included in this genus: Aliocis poriae (Nakane & Nobuki, 1955) comb. nov. and Aliocis ryukyuensis (Kawanabe, 1996) comb. nov.
扁隐翅虫属（Anoplocis）由河辺诚（Makoto Kawanabe）于1996年依据模式种——来自日本的多孔扁隐翅虫（Ennearthron poriae Nakane & Nobuki，1955）建立。此外，他还描述了日本物种琉球扁隐翅虫（Anoplocis ryukyuensis Kawanabe，1996）。然而，“Anoplocis”这个名称此前由亚瑟·M·利（Arthur M. Lea）于1913年用于一个象鼻虫属（鞘翅目：象甲科），其模式种为来自澳大利亚的锈色扁隐翅虫（Anoplocis ferrugineus Lea，1913）。因此，河辺诚于1996年建立的扁隐翅虫属（Anoplocis）是1913年利氏扁隐翅虫属（Anoplocis）的次同名。根据《国际动物命名法规》第60条，我们提议用新名称“Aliocis nom. nov.”取代河辺诚于1996年建立的“Anoplocis”。本文还对该属包含的两个物种提出了新组合：多孔阿里隐翅虫（Aliocis poriae (Nakane & Nobuki, 1955) comb. nov.）和琉球阿里隐翅虫（Aliocis ryukyuensis (Kawanabe, 1996) comb. nov.）。
