The source of the manuscript name Phryssonotidae is Bröleman & Duboscq (ca. 1915)[1] volume Myriapodes of the Traité de Zoologie concrète edited by Delage & Hérouard, which was never published; the bibliographic index stopped in 1915. Condé (1955: 77)[2] recognized the “priority” of the family Synxenidae Silvestri, 1923 over Phryssonotidae Brölemann & Duboscq, [ca.] 1915 [manuscript name], and “synonymized” the latter under the former. Jeekel (1971: 4)[3] followed Condé (1955) and mentioned the family-group name Phryssonotidae Brölemann & Duboscq as a manuscript name, with no status in nomenclature. Phryssonotidae Brölemann & Duboscq, 1915 was cited as "invalid" under Synxenidae Silvestri, 1923 by Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin & Geoffroy (2003: 92, 101)[4]. Condé† & Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin (2008: 293)[5] followed Jeekel (1971) and cited Phryssonotidae Brölemann & Duboscq (in ms, ca 1915) as an unavailable name.
