Taxonomic list

• Fritsch based his description two syntypes: a body (coll. J. Uličný, 1875, fig 75A) and forewing (coll. K. Feistmantl, 1879, fig 75B). Handlirsch (1906) considered them to belong to different species and created two new genera (Propalingenia for the wing and Pseudopalingenia for the body), both with the species epithet "feistmanteli" and both attributed to Fritsch. Those attributions and combinations were repeated in 1919 and 1922. One should be attributed to Handlirsch 1906 (as the deliberate application of a misidentification), but which one depends on whether the body or wing is the lectotype of Fritsch's P. feistmanteli. Hubbard (1989) does not explicitly designate a lectotype but says that the wing was "previously described as Paligenia feistmanteli" and states that Pseudopalingenia feistmanteli should be attributed to Handlirsch 1906. Stamberg & Zajic (2008) refer to the body (NMP Me119) as the holotype, but that is not a valid designation after 1999. They also list both Propalingenia feistmanteli and Pseudopalingenia feistmanteli in their synonymy list.
