Remarks: Previously included przewalskii. Status of goyazensis is unresolved.

Gamble, Colli, Rodrigues, Werneck & Simons (2012) did not comment on goyazensis, apart from referring to the above synonymizations. Cacciali, Lotzkat, Gamble & Köhler (2018) retained it as a synonym of pollicaris, pending further studies.
