Redescription
Scientific Name Notes This species was first allocated tentatively to the Gilquiniidae by Beveridge & Campbell (1988) and then to the Shirleyrhynchidae by Campbell & Beveridge (1994). When Beveridge & Campbell (1998) moved Tetrarhynchus aetobatidis Shipley & Hornell, 1906 to the genus Shirleyrhynchus as Shirleyrhynchus aetobatidis (Shipley & Hornell, 1906) Beveridge & Campbell, 1998, they synonymized S. aetobatidis and Shirleyrhynchus butlerae Beveridge & Campbell, 1988, briefly making S. butlerae and junior synonym of S. aetobatidis. However, Schaeffner (2016) resurrected S. butlerae from synonomy.
