Note:

• Retetydeus is cited in Baker & Wharton (1952: 192). Apparently, there is no formal synonymization.
• Species included in Retetydeus were transferred in Lorryia and Paralorryia by Baker (1968a and b) through subsequent combinations. Species concerned are boycei (Baker, 1968a : 1004), catenulata/us (Baker, 1968a : 1001), doddsi (Baker, 1968b : 1102), vivipara/us (Baker, 1968a : 991).
• The type species, catenulata/us, is included in the genus Brachytydeus by Silva et al. (2016: 12).
• However, the genus is not listed by Silva et al. (2016).
