The millipede genus Attems, 1914 was originally described by monotypy with Pocock, 1895 as the type species, which was based on a single female specimen. Although this species has been believed to be widespread in China, there have been no confirmed reports of it from its type locality, leading to uncertainty about its taxonomic status. To address this issue, we newly sampled specimens from its type locality in Zhifu, Shandong Province, China. Our morphological analysis suggests that (Pocock, 1895) should be reclassified as (Pocock, 1895) and is a senior synonym of Attems, 1898, The results also support the recovery of the name (Verhoeff, 1934) , which was previously misidentified as a junior synonym under . The former is now the genus type of .

倍足纲阿滕斯属（Attems，1914年）最初由波科克（Pocock）于1895年以单型方式描述，模式种基于一个单一的雌性标本。尽管该物种被认为在中国广泛分布，但其模式产地却没有关于它的确切报道，这导致其分类地位存在不确定性。为解决这一问题，我们新采集了来自中国山东省芝罘其模式产地的标本。我们的形态学分析表明，（波科克，1895年）应重新分类为（波科克，1895年），并且是阿滕斯属（Attems，1898年）的一个次异名。结果还支持恢复（韦尔霍夫，1934年）这一名称，该名称之前被错误地鉴定为（某个属名）下的一个次异名。前者现在是（某个属名）的属型。
