- 🧍 Xylophilus Willems et al. 1987 is a later homonym of a genus name with standing in the zoological (animal) nomenclature: Xylophilus Mannerheim 1823. Principle 2 of the 2008 Code is not retroactive, so the name does not contravene the Code because of this homonymy. — Crook M. Personal communication, 2021-08-19.

🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "XYPH" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer.
