Descamps and Wintrebert (1966 a, b) have recently shown that previous concepts of the genus Geloius Saussure were erroneously founded, that the type species, Geloius nasutus Saussure is related quite closely to Pseudogeloius Dirsh, and that, consequently, the tribal names Geloiini Bolivar, 1905, and Pseudogeloiini Kevan and Akbar, 1964, are synonyrnous. The best known species of Geloius (namely finoti Bolivar), which had formed the basis of Kevan and Akbar's interpretation of the tribe Geloiini, was found to be generically distinct and has become the type species of Acanthopyrgus Descamps et Wintrebert. The tribe containing this genus was renamed Sagittacrini — or, more correctly, Sagittacridini — the type genus of which is the related Sagittacris Dirsh.
