  Originally published with incorrectly ascribed authorship, "Favargerella (MOJON, 1996) emend. MARTIN-CLOSAS", since Favargerella Mojon was not validly published due to the lack of type designation (two species included) and English/Latin description. Favargerella of Martin-Closas is based on newly described species, F. aquavivae Mart.-Closas.
