• Telesto dominula Plötz, 1884 [Original combination]
• Anisyntha dominula (Plötz, 1884)

3.2. Taxonomy

Toussaint et al. (2022) justify the description of a new genus for the species previously listed as Anisynta dominula: "Several genera are recovered as paraphyletic or polyphyletic, rendering the classification of Trapezitinae incompatible with the new phylogeny. [...] To reflect the placement of Anisynta dominula outside of Anisynta, we describe the new genus Atkinsia Braby & Toussaint gen. nov., which includes the sole species Atkinsia dominula (Plötz, 1884) comb. nov."
